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

Aberystwith, Cardigaushire, Wales, |
heard related what seemed to me either
u fabulous story or marvellous cure.
The story was that poor sufferer who
had not Eecn 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.

wonderful cure. Though II total stran.

the case of MIR. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sutferings, and now rejoiced in what

his name had beeu connected with the
report from his having mentioned the
case to Mr.. John Thomas, II chemist of
Llanou. lie said Mr.. Pugh was former.

living in the parish of Llanddeinol.

that he was one who truly sympathised
