GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE.

LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT ! ■ GOING TO BEu. j Mr. Editor.— While spending a few days I at the pleasant seaside town of Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, I heard related what seemed to me either a fabulous story or a marvellous cure. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not been able to lie down in bed for six long years, given up to die by all doctors, ad been speedily cured by some Patent Medicine. It was related with the more implicit confidence from the circumstance as was said, that the Vicar of the Lianrystyd was familiar with the facts and could vouch for the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such stones grow in travelling, I took the liberty while at the village of Llanrysdyd to call on the Vicar, the Rev, T. Evans, and to enquire about this wonderful cure. Though a total stranger to him, both ne and his wife most graciously entertained me in an half hour’swctjw'ersatLn, principally touching the areSefl Mi/ Pugh, in which they thetic interests' having bffln Similar with his sufferings, in what seemed to them a ymst remarkable cure. The Vicar renferked that he presumed his name had been connected with the report from his having mentioned the case to Mr John Thomas, a chemist of ,Llanoa. He said Mr. Pugh was formerly a resident of their parish, but was now living in the parish of Llandcleiuol. He strongly vouched Mr. Wm. Pugh’s character as a respectable farmer and worthy of credit. I left the venerable Vicar with a livelier sense of the happy relation of a pastor and people, feeling that he was ooe who truly sympathised with itll who are. afflicted in mind, body, or estate. On my return to Aberystvvith, 1 was impressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, whose reputation stood so high. His faun is called Pancom-Mawr signifying “above the dingle,” situated near the summit of a smooth round hill, overlooking a beautiful valley in which is situated the lonely ivymantled Church of Llanddeinol. I f.,und Mr Pugh apparently about 40 years old, of medium height, rather slight, with a pleasant and intelligent face. I told him I had heard of his great affliction and of his remarkable and almost miraculous relief, and that 1 had come to learn fio u bis own lips, what there was of truth in the report ls . Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly anil sympathetic interest in Ids case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened by a happy change in my condition. What you report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood that my case was ever given up as hopeless by any Pnysician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but unfortunately no prescription of theirs ever bron iht the desired relief. Fifteen yea;s ago, he said, I rirst became conscious of a sour and tier mged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What iood I could hold in my stomach seeme 1 to do me no good and was often thrown up with patnf.il retchings. This was followed after a time with a hoarseness and raw soreness of tha throat which the Doctors called bronchitis, and I was treated for that but with liede success. Then came shortness of breath 1 and a s°nse of suffocation, especially nights j with a clammy sweat and I would have to 1 open a dcor or window in winter weather I to till my lungs with the cold air. | About six years ago I became so bad that ] 1 coul I nor. sleep in bed, but had to take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting in an arai chair my affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards into my lungs and throat. In the violent cou king spasms which grew more frequent, abdomen would expand and coll ipse and at times it would seem that I should suffocate. All this time I was re- j dined in strength s> that 1 could perform no bird lab air and my spirits were couso quently much depressed. Early in this last spring I had a slid more severe spasm idic attack, anil my family and neighbours became al,armed, believing that certainly I would nit survive, when a I neighbour, who had some knowledge, or 1 had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystj with by the driver of the Omnibus Pest, some seven miles distant, and fetched a bottle of Mother Soigel’s Curative Syrup. j,his medicine they administered to me according to the directions, when to their surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at earn, and my stomach was oalmel. My bowe's were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and 1 felt a sense of quiet comfort all thr null such as I had nut before realised in many years. I could walk around the house and-breathe comfortably in a few hours after f had taken the medicine. I have continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and 1 can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have not since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. 1 have been so lung broken down an t reduced in my whole system that 1 have not tried to perform any very hard outdoor labour, deeming it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion I may do myself injury before my strength is fully restated. I feel that my st much an 1 bowels have been and are being thoroughly renovated and renowo I by the medicine. In fact I toet like a new man. 1 have bee i much congratulate 1 by my neighbours,especially by the good \ tear of Llanryslyd, who with Ids sympathetic wife have come three miles to shed tears of j <y on ir.v recovery. “To Mr A. J. White.” Those who are m the “ Asthma Fur nan” should lose no time in obtaining relief by the use of “'1 hj) Rusingsveed Tar Mix ture ; ” but do not use the medicine unless you follow alt the directions “ to the letter.” 1 bade Mr Pugh goodbye, happy that even one at least among thousands had found a remedy for an aggravating disease. Relieving this remarkable case of Dyspeptic Asthma should b"> known to the public, t beg to submit the above facts as they aie related to me, F.T. W.
