A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

The American Ambassador at Vienna. Mr Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a rema'k able surgical operation lately performed by Professor Biihoth, of Vienna, which, avon dertul to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, Involving near y one third of the organ—and, strange to say, thep .dent recovered—the only successful operation of tbekind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symtoms : 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 the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. F 'od fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; hut, on thecontiary, it appeals to aggravate the feeling. The eyes a>e sunken, tinged with yellow ; ihe balds and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The suff rers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not (seem to give rest. Aft< r a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy his mind being filled with »vil fore boilings. When using suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzines, a whist ing sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. ; he bwels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the idood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented coalition, sometimes sweetish to th • taste. 0 tent’mes there is a palpitat’on of the heart, and the patient fears ho may have heart disease. Towards the last thepa ient is una le to retain any food what ever, as the opening in tho intestiner becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease'is indeed alarm’ng, sufferers with the above named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety nine cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease -asilv remo ed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and heat remedy lor the disease is SiigeTs Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by the pioprietors, A. J White, (Limited), London, England. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the d aease, and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system.

Waterloo House, London Hile, Chiswick, February 17, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , London ' Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I add my tes'imony to the wonderful effects of “Seigel’s Syrup.” For years I hare been suffering from bilious attacks, which began with giddiness ; then a mist would come before my eyes, so that I should not be able to recognise anyone, or anything at a distance at a yard or two from my face. This would be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, so th 11 could not stand without support; after which a severe headache Would occur lasting over two or three days. I have tried various remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until I tried “ Seigel’s Syrup ” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had excellent health in every respect, and if ever I feel a headache coming on I take one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that t is testimonial may he the means of inducing o'hers (who suffer as I used) to try tie Syrup as I feel sure they will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be cured, 1 beg to remiiu, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok September Bth, ISS.'I Dear Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel's Syrup’steadily increasing. All who have tri id it speaks very highly of its medicinal virtues: one customer describes it. as a “Godsend to dyspeptic people.” 1 always recommend it .wi' b coufi lenoc. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, - Chemist-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil.
