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


Mn. EDITOR while spending few
days at the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, i
heard related what seemed 10 me either
q fabulous story or n 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

rystyd to call upon the Vicar, the Rev.
T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though II total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in II 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
| sullerings, 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, Il chemist of
| Llanon. lie said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly a resident of their parish, but was now
| living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouchcd Mr. VIM. Pugh's
| character as n respectable farmer and
worthy of credit, left the venerable
| Vicar with Il livelier sense of the happy
| relation of pastor and people, feeling
| that he was one who truly sympathiscd
| with all who are afflicted in mind, body.

"above the dingle," situated near the
summit of smooth round hill, over
looking a beautiful valley in which is
situated the lovely ivymantled Church

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.

Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What

thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after time with hoarsc-
ness and Il 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 sutfocation, espc.
cially nights, with clammy sweat, and L

times open door or window in winter
