Great Excitement in Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years without
Going to Bed.

days AT the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales,
heard related what seemed 10 me either
fabulous story or Il marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not been able to lie down in bed for
six long years, given up TO die by all the
Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, as was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
OF the report
Having little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, [ took
the liberty willie at the village of Liam.
rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
Il. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they
seemed TO take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sufterings, and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them most remarkable cure.
The Vicar remarked that he presumed
his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, II chemist of
Llanon. He said MIR. Pugh was former.
ly a resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Landdeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character Us respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. | left the venerable
Vicar with liveier sense of u e happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
That he was one who truly sympaihised

or estate.
On my return to AbeN stwith, was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancon. Mawr, sgnifying

summit of smooth round hill, over.

able and almost miraculous relief, and
that l had come to learn from his own
lips, what there was of truth in the re.
ports.
Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh.
bors had taken kindly and symp-
athletic interest in his case for many
years, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by a happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav

hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
no prescription of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.

Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What

thrown up with painful retchings. This

which the Doctors called bronchitis,
and | was treated for that, but with
little success. Then came shortness OF
breath and sense of sutfocation, espe.

About six years ago l became SO bad
