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

Dearu related WHAT Secmeu u me ellner
a fabulous story or u marvellous cure.
The story was that a 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, rs 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 Il total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained 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
sullerings, 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, a chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former
" a 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. l left the venerable
Vicar with a livelier sense of tie happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympaihised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body,
or estate.
On my return to Aberystwith, l was
impressed with 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. | found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40ycars old, of medium
height, rather slight, with pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him | had heard
of his great afiliction 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 kindly and symp-
athletic interest in his case for many
years. but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav.
ing heard abroad, said he, is substant.

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

which the Doctors called bronchitis

little success. Then came shortAess Of

times open door or window in winter
weather to fill my lungs with the colo

About six years ago became SO bat
that l could not sleep in bed, but had Il

sitting in an armchair. My atilictiol

lungs and throat. In the violent cough
