II. 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 Il deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sullcrings, 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, II chemist OF

On my return to Abery stwth, was
| impressed with desire TO see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood 90 high. His
farm is called Pancom-Mawr signifying

summit of smooth round hill, over

situated the lovely ivymantled Church

Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh.
bors had taken II kindly and symp-

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

hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
unfortunately no prescription Of theirs

Fifteen years ago, he said | first be.

stomach and loss of appetite, which the
Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What

little success. Then came SHORTAGES OF
breath and sense of suffocation, espe.
cially nights, with cammy sweat, and
would have TO get out of bed and some.
times open door or window in winter
weather to fill my lungs with the cold
air.
About six years ago | became so bad
that could not sleep in bed, but had to
take my unuuiet rest and dreamy sleer
sitting in an armchair. My atlliction
} seemed to be working downward into
my bowels as well rs upwards into my
lungs and throat. In the violent cough
ing spasms which grew more frequent
my abdomen would expand and collapse
and at times it would seem that should
suilocate. All this time was reduced

hard labor and my spirits were conse
quently much depressed.
Early in this last spring had still
more severe spasmodic attack, and my
family and neighbOrs became alarmed
believing that certainly would not sur

knowledge, or had heard of the medi
cine, sent to Aberystwlth by the driver
of the Omnibus Post, some seven miles
distant, and fetched bottle of Mother
Seigel's Curative Syrup.
This medicine they administered tC
me according to the directions, when tC
their surprise and delight no less thar
my own, the spasm ceased. i became a
