A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

ThefAinerican Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kas son, has lately fo-warded to his Governmeat aa interesting account of a reins-ka-ble surgical- operation lately performed by Professor Billioth, of Vienna, which, wonderful 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, tbep ilient recovered—the only sue* ceasful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the fallowing symtoms : The appetite is quite poor. There is a peer liar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described aa a faint “ all gone" sensation ; a-sticky slime collects about the teeth, especial'} in the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; bnt, on the sonti ary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hadds and feet become cold and sticky—a cold 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 being filled with «vil forebodings. When lising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzme s, a whist ing sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling, d'he b'vela costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p'operly. 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 the 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, hut simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner.. The safest and l)«8t remedy for the disease is Ssigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by ail chemists and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J White, (Limited), London, England. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system.

Waterloo House, London s tile, 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 1 have been sufferiua from biious attackst 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 t1 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, hut until I tried “Seigel’a Syrup” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had exceent health ine every respect, and if ever I fed a headache coming on I take one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that this testimonial may be the means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure jaey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be erred, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, , A. H. Hortok. September Bth, 1883 Hear Sir,—l find the sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speaks very highly of its medicinal virtues: one customer describes it as a Godsend to dyspeptic people." I always recommend it wi'h confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil.
