A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATIC. The American Ambassador at Vienna, Sir Kasaon, has lately forwarded to hiaG • fnmiunt an interesting account of a tenia k» able surgical operation lately performed y Professor Bilhotb, of Vienna, wuich, wonderful to tell, consisted m the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving ne ir y one-third of tne organ—and, strange to say, thep .tient rec ivored—the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. Toe disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, a • ten led with the following symtoma : The apoetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribanle distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been describe l as a fa at “all gone" sensation ; a sticky slime collei s aouat tne teeth, especial j in the morning, ' accompanied by an unpleasant ca to. F si fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on theco.itiary, it appeals tongipava o the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tine i with yellow ; the lia ulsand feet in come cm! and sticky—a cold perspirutio v Tne self r ers feel tired all the time, an 1 sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time tfio patient becomes nirvous aud iiricabe, gloomy his mind being filled with "vil foi>Bo lings. When using suddenly from are cumneut position there is a dizzme s, a whist ing sensation, aud he is omLed u> grasp something firm to keep from falli- g. I’he bwels costive, the skin dry and hoc .-.o times ; the tlood becoming thick and s a.nant, and does not cirou a e p ope ly. After a time the patient spits up fond s.nrn after eating, sometimes in a siuranlfeimented condition, sometimes sweetish .to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient tears he may have heart disease. Towards the last the patieuo is unaolo to retain any food what ever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nea’ly so. Alhouch th.s disease is indeed alarming, sufferers witu the above named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine oases out of a thousand have no cancer, bus simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safe-t and h«st remedy for tho disease is Siigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J White, (Limited), London, England. This Syrup striki a at the very foundation of tho d sease. and drives it out, root and branch, out of tie system. Waterloo House, London Q tile, Chiswick, February 17, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , Loudon Gentlemen,—it is with great pleasure that I add my tes imnnyto the wonderful effects of “Seigel’s Syrup.” _ For years I have been suffering from biious attaok- ■ which began with giddiness ; then a mot 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 fac . This wonld be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, so th 11 c mid not stai d without support; afterwliich a severe headache would occur lasting over two or three days. I have tried various remedies for the-e • distressing symptoms, but until I tiled “ Seigel’s Syrup ” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had exceent health iue every respect, and if ever I fe4 a headache coming on I take one dose of the Syru;, which arrests it. Hoping that this testimonial may be the means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tl e Syrup, as I feel sure toey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be c ire.l, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok. September Btb, 1888 Dear Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel's Syr no steadily increasing. All who have tried it speaks very highly of its medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a “Godsend to dyspeptic people.” 1 always recommend it vvi’h confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil.
