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

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 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.
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 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
suflerings. 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, 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. left the venerable
Vicar with livelier sense of the happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
| that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted i'll mind, body.

On my return TO Aberystwith, | was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancom- Mawr, signifying

summit of a smooth round hill, over.

of his great atilction 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

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