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


Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, /
heard related what seemed TO me either
q 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 little curiosity to know how
such stories grow in travelling, took
the liberty willie 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
sufferings. 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
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly resident of their parish, but as 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 livelier sense of u happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathiseu
with all who are afflicted i'll mind, body.
or estate.
On my return TO Abery stwith, l was
impressed with n desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so 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. l found Mr.. Pugh.

height, rather slight, with u pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him had heard

lips, what there was of truth in the re.
ports.
Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh

hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
unfortunately no pre- cr'piion Of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.
Fifteen years ago, he said, first be.
came conscious OF sour and d.rauged
stomach and loss of appetite, which the
Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What
food could hold in my stomach SEEM
ed to do me no good and was often
thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after time with Il hoarse-
| ness and raw soreness of the throat
| which the Doctors called bronchitis,
and l was treated for that, but with
little success. Then came shortness OF
breath and a sense of sutfocation, espe.
cially nights, with clammy sweat, and l
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.
