Mr Kasson, has lately fir warded to his Government an interesting: account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach involving nearly one-third of the organ—and strange to say, the patient recovered—th only successful operation of the kind eve performed.

They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure costiveness. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies October 24, 1883.

Dear Bir, —I write to inform you that have derived great benefit from “ Beigel’ Syrup.” For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its mauy and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try SeigeVs 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 say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they “ come as a boon and I blessing to men ” and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement, a can truly say, however, that Scigel’s Byrn has come as a “ boon and 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 I have derived from this excellent preparation, prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am, dear Sir, Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, A. J. White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Preston,Jßeptember 21st, 1883 My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Fills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said •' Mother Beigel ” had saved the life of his wife, and he added, “ one of these bottles 1 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 were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Beigel’s Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker.
