A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The '4shassa(lor at Vienna, Mr Kas»pn,.h«(i|aiiely forwarded to his Governnierft art ifireres'eihg account of a rwna, ka» We surgical operation lately performed by Professor Bitlioth, 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, the patient recovered—the only successful operation of the kind evfer performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symtpms : The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indesoribanle distress in tbe 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. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; hut, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hadds and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. Tbe sufferers 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 forebodings. When rising suddenly from a recumoent position there is a dizzme s, a whist log sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling, t'he b'vels costive, the akin dry and hot at times; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sonr 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 tbe patient is unable to retain any food what ever, as tbe opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine oases oat of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by tbe proprietors, A. J White, (Limited), London, England. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of tho disease, and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system. Waterloo House, London Stile, Chiswick,

February 17, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , London Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I add my testimony to the wonderful effects of “Seigel’s Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering, 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 11 o mid not stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur lasting over two or three days. I have tried variou- remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until I tried “ Sergei’s Syrup ” I had no relief. Since then I have have had exceent health ine every respect, and if ever I fed a headache coining 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 L feel sure :aey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be c ired, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have triedit speaks very, highly medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a “Godsend to dyspeptic people.” 1 always recommend it wi'h confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil.
