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

The story was that 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. IL 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

the case of MIR. Pugh, in which they
seemed TO take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
suflerngs, and now rejoiced in what
seemed to them II most remarkable cure.

his name had been connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, II chemist of
Llanon. He said Mi. Pugh was former

living in the parish of Llanddcinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as Il respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with Il liveiier sense of the happy
relation of a pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympaihiscd
