A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

r eAmerioah Ambassador at ' Vienna, M* Kasson, has lately forwarded to hie Govern* uieut an mtereeting account of a roma kae. ble surgical operation lately performed by Professor Bilhoth, of Vienna, which, won* deiful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one third of the organ—and, strange -to «ay, the p dient recovered—the only sue* cesaful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, at* tended with the following' symtoms : The apnetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “all gone" sensation; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especial'y in the'moroing, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. F od fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appeals to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hadds and feet become o >ld and sticky—a cold perspiration. Tne sufferers feel tired all the time, ami sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritab’o, gloomy his mind being filled with -»vi! forebodings, When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzme s, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. Che b'rels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stag* nant, and does not circulate properly. 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 nearly 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, but simply dvspopsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and li-'st remedy for the disease is Seigel’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 sease, 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 tes imnny to the wonderful effects of “Seidel's Syrup.” For years I have been suffering from biious attaekst which began with giddiness ; then a mist would come before my eyes, so that I should not he 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 various remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until 1 tried “Seigel’s Syrup” I had no relief. Since then I have have had exceent health iue every respect, and if ever I fed a headache coming on I take one dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that ttds testimonial may be the means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure mey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be o tred, I beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok. September Bth, 1883 Dear, Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel's Syrun steadily increasing. All who have 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-dentist, To Mr A. J, White. Merthyr Tydvil,
