SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION .The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has la'ely forwarded to his Governan interesting a- count of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tefl,‘‘consisted in the removal of a ponion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and, strange to say, the pati ut recovered—the only surgical operation of th; kind ever performed. The disease for which this opera ion was performed was cancer of the Stomach, attended with the followingsymptoms: —The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar in lescribable distress in the stomach, a fseling that has been described as a faint “ qlLgone” sensation; a sticky s’ime collects about the teeth, especially in t e morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the f cling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hands and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The s .fferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil forebod ngs. When rising suddenly from a recum- • berlt position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, - the skin dry <r.d hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circu-late-poperly, After a time the patient spits rp food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, somet'mes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart dise .se. Towards the last the patient is unable .to retain any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand ha e no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigels Cnrative Syrup, a vegetable preparation so'd by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. While (Limited), 17, Farringdon road, London, E.C.; or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser and Co.'s ew Zealand Drug Company (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Anckand. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the - disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system. St. Mary street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir,- It gives ms great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from 1 eigel's Syrup- I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, rnd after tak ng two bottles of it I feel quite cured.

All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues : one ,customer describes it as a “Godsend to dys- . peptic people,” I always recommenJit with confidence.. Faithfully yours, ( c igned) Vin-ent A. Wills, - - Che 1 ist-dentist, Merthyr Tyivil. To. Mr A. J. White. Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir, —Vour Syrup and Pit’s are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medic nes possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said “Mother Seigel ” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, “one of these bottles 7 am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it.” The sale, keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people we e beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel’s Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. 1 am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W, Bowker, To A. J. V> hite, Esq. • Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies, Oct. 24, 1882. Dear Sir. —I write to inform you that I have derived g eat benefit from “ Scigel’s Syrup.” For-some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its maily and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual mis ry. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel's Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible remedies, 1 determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days 1 felt considerably better andfiiow at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to s y that 1 am a different being altogether. 11 is said of certain pens that they •' come as a boon and a blessing to men” and I have no reason to doubt the;truthfulness of the statement. I can say truly, however, that Seigel’s Syrup has come as a 1 boon and a blessing” to me. I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint,-and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit Ilnve derived from 1 the excellent preparation, prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. fc. I am, dear Sir, Yours ever grate r ully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, . : ■ Baptist Missionary. A. J. White, Esg. Hensingham, Whitehaven, Oct. i 5, 1882.
