GREAT EXCITEMENT IN WALES ABOUT A MARVELLOUS CURE. LIVING SIX YEARS WITHOUT GOING TO BED.

;>. ■ ■ 7 . - *,v Mr Editor, —rWhUoipcndinjt a few <hys at the pleasant seijjide ta»n of Aberystwitb, Car* digansbire, Wale^ I heard related what seemed to me either .a .fabulous story or a marvellous cnre. The story was that a poor sufferer who had not beeu able to lie down ia bed for »ix long Tears, given up to die by all the Doctors, bad beeu speedily cured by tome Patent Medicine, i It was related with the more implicit confidence from'ibe c^irciw.'B&'tf^^^ Vicar of Llautystjd was familiar with the facts, and could Touch Tor the truth of the report. Having a little curiosity to know how such i storiea:.griwdm-*»«eUJoft.j;.^Qk the liberty; while at the TiHageofnanryityatp^T^poo -^ the -Vicar, the. B£v..T, Evana, au^to enquire "" about this wonderfal cnrer'Ta^igli^B'i.iofiH stranger to him, both he and bis wife most graciously entertained me }» a half hour's conversation, principally case of Mr Pugh, m which they seeloae^^|r|i^ a deep and sympathetic interest, havin^l^ij'ifomiKar with- ■ ' ' his suffering*, and now rejoicef m what seemed to them a most remarkable cur^y The Vicar remarked thatf £«' presnmed his name bad beea connected with the report from his baring mentioned? the case >to Mr John ; Thomas, a chemist* of Ltanou. ; ' H» said Mr ' Pugh was formerly » ; residjeutj .ofj their parish, bnt was now liViiig m ttie parish ofljlandaeinol. • • . •..-,•. ...-'■• He strongly vouched Mr Wm. Pngh's characi ter as a respectable farmer and worthy af credit* I'left the venerable Vicar With a livelier seuie of the happy relutioo of a pastor and people, r feeling that he was one who truly sympathised; with all who are afflicted m mind, body, or estate. . ; . On my return to Aberystwith, I was im* pressed with a desire to see Mr Pugh, whose : reputation stood so high. His farm is called Pancora-Mawr, signifying *' abore the dingle," situated near the .summit of a smooth rouud bill, orerlookiug a beautiful valley ia which is . situated the lovely ivy-mantled Church of Llanddeinol. I found 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 aud almost miraculous relief, and that I had come to learn from bis own lips what there was of truth m the reports. Mr Pugh remarked that his neighbours had taken a kindly and sympathetic - interest m bit case for many years, but of late their interest had been greatly awakened, by a happy change m his condition. What you report as having heard abroad, said he, is substantially true, with one exception. I never understood tbat my case was ever giveu up as hopeless by any Physician. I have been treated by several Doctors hereabouts, as good as any m Wales, bnt uufortuuately no prescription of theirs .ever brought the desired relief. Fifteen year* ago, he said, I first became conscious of a sour and deranged stomach and loss of appetite, which the Doctors told m« was Dyspepsia. What food I could hold m my stomach seemed to do me no good and wa« often thrown up with painful Teachings, This was followed after, ,a time with a hoarseness and a raw soreness of tbe throat' which the Doe- ' iors culled bronchi! is, and I was treated for that, but with little success. Then came shortneis of breath and a sense of suffocation, . especially nights, with clammy sweat, aud I would have to get out of bed and sometimes opeu a door or window m winter weather to fill my lungs 'with the cold air. About six years sg» I became so bad that I could not sleep m bed, bnt had to take my un> quiet rest and dreamy sleep sitting m ab armchair. My affliction seemed to be working downward into my bowels as well as upwards iuto n.y luogs and throat. In the violent conghing si asms which grew more frequent, my abdomen would expand and collapse, and at times it would teem that I' should suffocate. All this time I was reduced m strength so that I couid perform no hard labour and my spirit* were consequently mnck depressed. Early m this last spring I had a still more severe spasmodic attack and my family and neighbours became alarmed, believing that certainly 1 would not survive, • when a neighbour, who had some knowledge, or had heard of the medicine, sent to Aberystwitb by the driver of tbe Omnibus Post, seat «eveu miles distant, and fetched a bottle of Mother Sei* gel's Curative Syrup. This medicine tbey administered to me according to the directioua, when to their Surprise and delight no less than my own, the spasm ceased, I became at ease, and my stomach was calmed. My bowel* were moved as by a gentle cathartic, and I felt a sense of quiet comfort all through such as I had not belore realized m many years. I could walk around the house and breathe comfortably m a few hours after I had taken the medicine. I hare continued to take the medicine daily now for something over two months, and I can lay down and sleep sweetly at nights and have nut ■;• since had a recurrence of those terrible spasms and sweatings. I have beeu so long broken down and red need m Biy whole systom that I have not tried to perform any very hard oat ■ door labour, deemed it best to be prudent lest by over-exertion 1 may do myself injury before my strength is fully restored. I feel that my stomach and bowels have been, and are being thoroughly renovated and renewed bj the medicine. In fact I feel like a new man. I have been much ■ congratulated by oar neighbours, especially by the good Vicar of Llu&rystyd, who with nil sympathetic wifehave come three miles to sfced tears of joy on my recovery. I bade Mr Pagh goodbye, happy that even oue at least among, thousands ' bad found a> remedy for an aggravating disease. Believing this remarkable case of DyspepticAsthma should be known to the public,* I beg' to submit the above facts as they are related tome. . F. T. W.
