A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

The' American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, ha* lately forwarded to his Govern - meut an interesting account of a rnmarkabla surgical operation lately performed by Professor Bilhotb, of Vienna, winch, 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 p tient recovered—the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, atten led with the following symtoms : The apootue is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribanle 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 ta-to. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; bat, on the cootiary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the haddsand feet become odd 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 iiritabc, gloomy his mind being filled with -vil forebodings. When using suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzine a, a whisking sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The b'vels 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, am! 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 nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms should not feel' nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nice cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if Created in a proper manner. The safest and b-st remedy for tho disease is Ssigefa Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J White, (Liraited), London, England. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of tho d seaso, and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system.

Waterloo House, London Stile, Chiswick, February J7, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , London, Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I aid my tes imony to the wonderful effects of “Seigel’o Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering from biious attackst which began with giddiness ; then a mist would comt 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 exces-ive trembling of my knees, so th tic mid not stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur lasting over two or three days. I have trie I various remedies for these '{stressing symptoms, but until I tried “Seigel’a Syrup” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had exCeent health ino every respect, and if over I fed a headache coming on I take „one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that this testimonial may ho the means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure ;.iey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be c ired, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully,

A. H. Hortok. September Bch, 188.'! 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.” I always recommend it wi'h confidence.

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