Living Six Years without
Going to Bed.

Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, Wales, l
heard related what seemed to me either
fabulous story or y 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 10y
some Patent Medicine. 1t was related
with the more implicit confidence from
the circumstance, us was said, that the
Vicar of Llanrystyd was familiar with
the facts, and could vouch for the truth
of the report

T. Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though total stran.

graciously entertained me in q 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
sutierings. and now reioiCed in what
seemed TO them II most remarkable cure.

On my return TO Aberystwith, l was
impressed with desire to see MIR. Pugh,

summit of smooth round hill, over

situated the lovely ivymantled Church

apparently about 4Oyears old, of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
intelligent face. 1 told him l had heard
of his great atilction and of his remark

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

years, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by happy change in
his condition. What you report as hav
