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

days at the Pheasant Seuslue tOWn VI
Aberystwith, Cardiganshire, 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 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 Llanrystyd was familiar with |
the facts, and could vouch for the truth |
of the report.
Having a 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. |
r. Evans, and to enquire about this |
wonderful cure. Though u toal stran-
pcr TO him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in II 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
suiferings, and now rejoiced in what
seemed TO 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, II chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former
ly resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddcinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as II respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. left the venerable
Vicar with liveier sense of the happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly syn pa,hised
with all who are afflicted in mind, body,
or estate.
On my return TO Aberystwitl, 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 Nr. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old, of medium
height rather slight, with a pleasant and
intelligent face. | told him | had heard

that | had come to learn from his own
lips, what there was of truth in the re.

Mr.. Pugh remarked that his neigh.

wears, but of late their interest had been
greatly awakened by,a happy change in
