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

Mr.. EpIroR:-Whie spending a few
days at the pleasant seaside town of
Aberystwilh, Cardiganshile, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
a 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 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, 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 while 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 entertain d me in a half
hours conversation. principally touching
seemed TO take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
suflerings. and now rcioiced 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
Llanou. He said MIR. Pugh was former.
ly resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pughs
character as respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. | left the venerable
Vicar with Il livelier sense of tire happy
relation of Il pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympathiscu
with all who are afflicted in mind, body.
or estate.
On my return to Abery stwith, was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancom-M awr, 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 Llanddcinol. found Mr. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old, of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
| intelligent face. l told him | had heard
of his great affliction 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 II 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
tally true, with one exception. never
understood that my case was ever given
up as hopeless by any Physician. l

unfortunately no prescription Of theirs
ever brought the desired relief.
Fifteen years ago, he said, first be.
came conscious of IA sour and deranged
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 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 sufocation, 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.

that could not sleep in bed, but had to
take my unquiet rest and dreamy sleep
sitting in an armchair. My atfiicton

lungs and throat. In the violent cough.

my abdomen would expand and collap. e
