A SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remaikable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Bilhoth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one third of the organ—and, strange to say, thep.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 indescribable 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 taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the eoutiary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the haddsand feet become cold 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 irritab’o, gloomy his mind being filled with “vil forebodings. When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizztne s, a whist ing 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 properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented coalition, 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 unahle 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 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 the proprietors, A. J W bite, (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 ‘'tile, Chiswick, February 17, 1882. Messrs. White and Co , Lou lon. Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I add my tes imony to the wonderful effects of “Seigel’s Syrup.” For years 1 have been suffering from biious atta.-ks, which began with giddiness ; then a mist would come before my eyes, so that I should not be able to recognise auyone, 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 t1 c«uld 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 “Seigel’s Syrup” 1 had no relief. Since then I have hj ive had exoeent health ine every respect, and if ever I fe»l a headache corning 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 tic Syrup, as I feet sure :aey will receive” speedy benefit and ultimately be c ired, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok. September Sth, 1883. Hear Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who havo 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,
