A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr K'asson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a rema table surgical operation lately performed oy Professor Brlhoth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, inventing nearly one-third of tne organ—ami, strange to say, the patient recovered—the only successful operation of the kind ever pertoi men. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symtoma : The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling chat 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 te. Fund fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensaciou ; but, on tne conti ary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hands and feet become c nd and sticky—a cold perspiration. Tne sufferers feel tired all the time, an t sleep uoea not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and iiritabe, gloomy hia mind being filled with ‘-vil fo ebodings. When rising suddenly from ar - cumoent position there is a dizzne s, a whistling sensation, and he is oini.cd to grasp something, tirm to keep from fa in . the bwels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p opeily. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste. Oitentimea there is a palpitation of the heart, ami the patient iears tie may have heart disease. Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food wnac ever, ad the opening in the intestines becomes c’o ie, or nearly so. Although tins disease is ; indeed alarming, sufferers wrU the above named symptoms should not led nervous, for nine hundred and ninety lime cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily remo- ed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and remedy for the disease is Scigd’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 strikes at the very foundation of the d sense, and drives it out, root and branch, out of the system.

Waterloo House, London 'dile, Chiswick, February 17, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , London. Gentlemen,—dt is with great pleasure that I add my testimony to the wonderful effects of “Seiyel'a Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering from biious altaikat 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 exoes-ive trembling of my knees, so th 11 o .uld not stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur lasting over two or thr-a days. I have tried variou- remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until 1 tried “Seigel’s Syrup ” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had exceeut health ioo every respect, and if ever I fe d a headache coming on I take one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that t is t stiracnial may be the means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure :aey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be c ired, I beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok, September Sib, 1838 Hear Sir, —1 find the sale of Se gel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who hive tried it speaks very' highly of its medicinal virtues : one customer describes it as a “Godsend to dyspeptic people.” 1 always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent. A. Wills, Chemist-den ti->t. To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil.
