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

Gays AT inc Pheasant SpHS1UB TOWN. OF
Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, l
heard related what seemed 10 me either
fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that Il 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 10 call upon the Vicar, the Rev.

ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertain,d 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
sutlerings, and now rejoiccd 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. lie said MIR. Pugh was former.
ly u resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. Vim. Pugh's
character as respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. | left the venerable
Vicar with a livclier sense of tie 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 Abery stwith, / was
impressed with Il 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 ivymantled Church
of Llanddeinol. 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 atlliction and OF his remark.

that | 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-

years, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav.

up as hopeless by any Physician.

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

Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. VIVA,

thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after time with Il hoarse-

which the Doctors called bronchitis

little success. Then came shortness OF
