SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION. The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has la ely forwarded to his Government an interesting a count of a remarkable surg'caloperatio ! lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a por ion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and. strange to say, the pati nt recovered—the only surgical operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this opera ion was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms; ■—The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, j a feeling that has been described as a faint ‘•allgone" sensation; a sticky slime 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 cod perspiration. The sufferers 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 forebodings. When rising suddenly from a recumbent 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 and hot at times ; the blood becming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p operly. After a time the patient spits 4p 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 diseise. 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- eno cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation so'd by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, J. White (fimiled), 17, Farringdon road, london, E.C.; or the wholesale agents, Kcmpthorne, Prosser and Co.'s ew Zealand Drug Company (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auck’and. 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 t eigel's Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia; but after a few doses of the Syrup, 1 found relief, and after tak ng two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am. Sir, yours truly, William Brent. Mr A. J. White September 8 h, 1883. Dear Sir, —I find the sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a “ Godsend to dyspeptic people.” I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vin.ent A. Wills, Che i ist-dentist, Me-thyr Tylvil. To Mr A. J. White. Seigel’s Operating P l's are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Pills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the bes: family medic nes possible. The other day a Customer came for two bottles of Syrup ;nd sail “Mother Seigel” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, “one of these bottles • am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. 1 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. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. To A. J. V Site, Esq. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies, Oct. Z 4, 1882, Pear Sir.—l write to inform you that I have dtrived g eat benefit from “ Seigel’s Syrup.” For some years 1 have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual mis.ry. Twelve mojuhs ago I was induced to try Seigel’s Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to s y that J 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. 1 can say truly, however, that Seigel’s Syrup has come as a ‘ 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 lor the benefit I h ve derived from the excellent preparation, prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am, dear Sir, Yours ever grate ully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, Baptist Missionary. A. J.! White, Esq. Hensinghazn, Whitehaven, Cct. 16, 1882. Mr A. J. White. —Dear Sir, I was for gome time afflicted with piles, and .was advised to five Mother Seigel’s Syrup a trial, which I did. lam now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health*—l remain, yours respectfully, 3 (Signed) John H. Lightfoot.
