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

ncaGu rclalCu WHAT seemed TO me either
fabulous story or a marvellous cure.
The story was that a 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, aud to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though II total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graCiously entertained me in u half
hours conversation, principally touching
the case of Mr. Pugh, in which they
seemed to take Il deep and sympathetic
interest, having been familiar with his
sutlerings, 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, chemist of
Llanon. He said Mr.. Pugh was former.
ly u resident of their parish, but was now
living in the parish of Llanddcinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character rs n respectable farmer and
worthy of credit. | left the venerable
Vicar with livclier sense of the happy
relation of pastor and people, feeling
that he was one who truly sympalhiscu
with all who are afflicted in mind, body,
or estate.
On my return to Aberystwith, was
impressed with desire to see Mr.. Pugh,
whose reputation stood so high. His
farm is called Pancom-Mawr, signifying

summit of a smooth round HILL over.

that | had come to learn from his own

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-

Doctors told me was Dyspepsia. What

little success. Then came shortness OF
