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

heard related what seemed 10 me either
q fabulous story or n 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 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 I,lanrystyd 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 u 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
sufterings. and now rejoiced in what
seemed 10 them a 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 Mr.. 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 respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with livclier sense of the happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympalhiscd
with all who are afflicted in mind, body
or estate.
On my return TO Aberystwith, l was
impressed with Il desire to see Mr.. Pugb,
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 40 years old, of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
intelligent face. | told him l had heard
of his great atfliction and of his remark.
able and almost miraculous relief, and
that / had come to learn from his own
lips, what there was of truth in the re.
ports.
MIR. 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 a happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav.
ing heard abroad, said he, is substant.
tally true, with one exception. l never
understood that my case was ever given
up as hopeless by any Physician. l
have been treated by several Doctors
hereabouts, as good as any in Wales, but
unfortunately no prescription of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.
Fifteen years ago, he said, first be.

stomach and loss of appetite, which the
Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What
food l could hold in my stomach seem.

thrown up with painful retchings. This
was followed after time with u hoarse-
ness and raw soreness of the throat
which the Doctors called bronchitis,
and / was treated for that, but with
little success. Then came shortness OF
breath and sense of suffocation, espe.
cially nights, with clammy 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 had

| seemed to be working downward into
my bowels as well AS upwards into my
lungs and throat. In the violent cough
