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’cal operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, cons : sted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and, strange to say, the patient recovered —the only surgical operation of thn Icind ever performed, Ihe disease for which this opera'ion was performed \va- cancer of the Stomach, attended with the foliowingsymptoms: —The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint *• all gone” 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 sunke >, 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 z r.d hot at times ; the blood be cming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p operly. After a time the patient spits ,»p food soon after eating, somet mes in a sour and fermented condition, somst'mes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes the-e is a pa'pi tat ion of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease. 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 abov -named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and niuetv-Bine 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 Seigel s Cnr.-live Syrup, a vegetable preparation so'd by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by •he proprietors, - 3 . J.
