Going to Bed.

Aberystwith Cardiganshire, Wales, l
heard related what seemed TO me either
fabulous story or 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 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 II 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 half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of MIR. Pugh, in which they
seemed TO take deep and sympathetic
| interest, having been familiar with his
sufierings. and now rejoiced in what
| seemed TO 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. He said MIR. Pugh was former
| ly a 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. l left the venerable
Vicar with livelier sense of the happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body.

On my return TO Abery stwth, / was
impressed with a desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Panccm Mawr, signifying
"above the dingle," situated near the
summit of smooth round hill, over.

situated the lovely ivymantled Church
of Llanddeinol. l found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old, of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him had heard
of his great affection 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 u kindly and symp-

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