A SUCCESFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kissuu, has lately forwarded to his Government aa interesting account) of a rema> kable 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 ne tny one third of tuo 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, attended with the following symtoms : The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar iudescriha ,lo distress in the stomach, a f> el - mg that has been described as a faint “all gone” sensation ; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especially rn the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant ta-te. F o i fails to satisfy this peculiar taint sensation ; but, on 111 fc> contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the ha ids and feet become odd and sticky—a cold perspiration. The surf rers feel till'd all the time, and sleep ones not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritab e, gloomy his mm I being filled with “vil forebodings. When tiamg suddenly from a recumnent position there is a dizzine s, a whist ing sensation, and he is ohlited to grasp something tiimto keep from falling, the bwels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the Oiood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate p-opely. After a time the patient spits up food soo i after eating, sometimes in a sour anil 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 tha patient is unaole to retain any food what ever, as tha opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although tins disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine eases out of a thousaud have no cancer, hut simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and 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, (Lunited), London, Kugland. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the d sense, ami drives it out, root and branch, out of the system. Waterloo House, London 'tile, Chiswick, February 17.11882. Messrs. White and Co , London Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I add my tea iraony to the wonderful effects of “Seigel’a Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering from biious attaekst which hegau 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 fnce. This would be followed by excessive trembling of my knees, so th 11 could not stand without support; afterwhich a severe headache Would occur lasting over two or three days. I have tried variou- remedies for these distressing symptoms, hut until I tried “ Seigel’s Syrup ” 1 had no relief. Since then I have have had exeeent health ine every respect, and if ever I feel a headache coming on I take one-dose of the Syrup, which arrests it. Raping that this testimonial may be the means of inducing others (who suffer as I useil) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure :aey will leceive 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 Syrian 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 with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemis - -dentist. To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil,
