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

Going to Bed.
MIR. EDITOR while spending a few
days at the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Cnrdiganshire, Wales, l
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 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 while at the village of Liam
rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
I. 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
suferings. and now reioiced in what
seemed.to them u 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 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. l left the venerable
Vicar with a livelicr sense of t. happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
| that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body:
| or estate.
On my return to Aberystwitll, was
impressed with a desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood 50 high His
farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying
"above the dingle," situated near the
| summit of smooth round hill, over
| looking beautiful valley in which is
| situated the lovely ivymanlied Church
of Llanddeinol. 1 found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old. of medium
height, rather slight, with pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him had heard
of his great atfliction and 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 as hav-
ing heard abroad, said he, is substant.

that could not sleep in bed, but had to
take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep
sitting in an armchair. My atfliction

lungs and throat. In the violent cough
