Gfear Excitement IL Wales
about a Marvellous Cure.
Living Six Years without
Going to Bed,

MIR. Editor w lille spending few
days at the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Carui ganshile, Wales, /
heard related what seemed to me either
Il fabulous story or 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 u little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, I took
the liberty while at the village of Liam.
rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
T 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
sufierings. 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, a chemist of
Llanon. He said Mir. Pugh was former.
ly Il resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM Pugh's
character as a respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable

Ca my return to Aberystwth, was

whose reputation stood so high. His
