Doctors, had been speedily cured by
some Patent Medicine. II 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.

Il, Evans, and to enquire about this
wonderful cure. Though total stran.
ger to him, both he and his wife most
graciously entertained me in 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
suiierings, and now rejoiced 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, II chemist of
Llanon. He said Mir. Pugh was former.
ly a resident of their parish, but as now
living in the parish of Llanddeinol.
He strongly vouched Mr.. VIM. Pugh's
character as q respectable farmer and

of Llanddeinol. l found Mr.. Pugh,
apparently about 40 years old. of medium
height, rather slight, with a pleasant and
intelligent face. l told him l had heard
of his great affliction and of his remark
able and almost miraculous relief, and
that ! 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 kindly and symp-

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