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 10 die by T. II the
Doctors, had been speedily cured 10y
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 20 know how
such stories grow in travelling, | 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 s,ran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in n half
hours conversation principally touching
the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take n deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
suilcrings. and now rcioiced in what
seemed TO them II 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 dir. Pugh was former
| ly II resident of their parish, but was now
| living in the parish of Llanddcinol
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
| character as Il respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. | left the venerable

On my return TO Abeystwth, was

| whose reputation stood 50 high. His

| "above the dingle," situated near the
| summit of II smooth round hll over

| situated the lovely ivymantlcd Church

apparently about 40years old, of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
| intelligent face. | told him / had heard
| of his great aflliction ana OF his remark
| 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 happy change in
his condition. What you report MS hav-
ing heard abroad, said he, is substant-
tally true, with one exception. | never
understood that my case was ever given
up as hopeless by any Physician. L
have been treated by several Doctors
hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
unfortunately no prescription Of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.
| I'm
came conscious OF II sour and derangcd
stomach and loss of appetite, which the
Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What
food l could hold in my stomach seem
ed to do me no good and was often
thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after Il time with Il hoarse-
ness and raw soreness OF the throat
which the Doctors called bronchitis,
and | was treated for that, but with
little success. Then came shortness OF
breath and sense of suffocaton, espe-
cially nights, with clammy sweat, and
would have to get out of bed and some
times open door or window in winter
weather to fill my lungs with the cold
air.
About six years ago became so had
that could not sleep in bed, but had to
take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep
sitting in an armchair. My atfliction
seemed to be working downward into
my bowels as well as upwards into my
lungs and throat. In the violent cough

my abdomen would expand and collapse
and ut times it would seem that l should
suff'ocate. All this time | was reduced
in strength so that | could perform no
hard labor and my spirits were conse-
quently much depressed.
