A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

TheJAmerican Ambassador at Vie 1 ni, Mr Kasaim, ha- lately fc warded to hisli >veriiineuc an interesting accnnnt of a remit la hie survival operation lately peifor ■id y Trofesaor Billiotb, of Vienna, waieh, wondeiful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving near y one-third of tne organ—and,, strange to say, tbep lienc recovered—the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The di-ca-e for which this operation was peifnrined was cancer of the stomach, a - ten led with the following symtoms : The apoetite is qui e poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feel ing that baa been described as a faint “ all gone" sensation ; a sticky slime collecis about the teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant ta-te. F od fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; hut, on theco.diary. it appeals to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hadds and feet become c <ld and sticky—a cold perspiration. The suffer era feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritab e, gloomy his mind being filled with "vil fore bodings. When lining suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzrne s, a whist ing sensation, and tie is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling, i'he bwels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p ope ly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented 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 patient is unable to retain any food what ever, as the opening in tho intestines becomes close, or nea-ly 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 have no cancer, hnt simply dvspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and b-st remedy fur the disease is Ssigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and me ficine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J White, (Limited), London, England. This Syrup strike* at the very foundation of the d sease. and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system.

Waterloo House, London c tile, Chiswick, February 17, 1882. Messrs. White ami Co , Lou ion Gentlemen,—it is with great pleasure that I aid my tes imnny to the wonderful effects of “Seiiiel’s Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering from biious attaeksc 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 he followed by excessive trembling of mv knees, so th 11 c uld not stand without support; after which a se> ere headache would occur lasting over two or three days I have tried variou remedies for these distressing symptoms, hut until 1 tried “Seigel’s Syrup” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had execent health ine every res|>ect, and if ever I fe 1 » headache coming on I take one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that t is t -stiracnial may he the means of inducing others (who • suffer as I use i) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure ;uey will receive speedy benefit and ul innately be c .red, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, A H. Hortnk. September Bth, 1888

Dear Sir,—l find the sale of Se gel’s Syruo steadily increasing. All who have tried it speaks very highly o f its medicinal virtues: one customer describes it as a “Godsend to dyspeptic people.” 1 always recommend it wi hj confidence.

Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil,
