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 Billroth, of. Vienna, Which, tyonderful to tell, consisted in' the removal of a portion of the baman’stomaoh, involving nearly one-third of the ,organ—and, strange to say, thapltfent recovered—the only successful opera* ion of thekind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was perforq£ed_ ‘was cancer ’of the stomach, attended with the following aymtoms : 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, especiaTy in the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow ; the hadds and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The so'ferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy his mind being filled with «vil forebodings. When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizzme-s, a whist ing sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bwels 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 np food soon after eiting, sometimes in a sour and fermented conlition, 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 tho 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 treated in a proper manner. The safest and b»st remedy for the disease is SsigeTs 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. Mess'*. White and Co , London Gentlemen, —it is with great pleasure that I add my tea imony t<J the wonderful effects of “Seigel’a Syrup. 1 ’ For years 1 have been suffering from biious attacks, which began with giddiness ; then a mist would conn, 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 excessive trembling of my knees, so th 11 could not stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur lasting over two or three days. I have tried varioui remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until I tried “Seigel’s Syrup” I had no relief. Since then I have have had exceent health ine every respect, and if ever I fe-d a headache coming 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 use I) to try tie Syrup, as I feel sure mey will receive speedy benefit and ultimately be c »red, 1 beg to remain, yours faithfully, A. H. Hortok. September 8 th, 1883. Dear Sir, —1 find the sale of Seigel’s Syruo steadily increasing. All who hava tried it speaks very highly of its medicinal virtues; one customer describes it as a “Godsend to dyspeotic people.” I always recommend it wi hj confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemis’-dentist, To Mr A. J. White. Merthyr Tydvil,

am EaiUMrisK ’-jL- ' « YENTION. t&liltZ&Ol |s ;,, ,:.•*••• f>irr, rr— THE VICTORY OF ELECTRICITY. * ? ffl •}_ | ‘ . Since, Electricity has been applied.for lighting ptl’-p mas, all effete of inventors huvp been directed to construct-a lamp fqr general domestic use. The reason why this problem has till now not been solve I, is that none of the inventors could rid themselves of the idea of gas lighting, and that all have had adhered to the system of producing the Electricity in some centra’ place, or by large machinery, ins lead of first laying down the principle that a Lamp which should ever become generally useful and popular, must be portable, like an Oil Lamp, and contain the generator of Electrioity in itself, i. e., in the foot of the Lamp. The Norman Electric Light Co. has at last.suoceeded in completely realizing this ideal of Electric Lighting, and there is no doubt that this most important invention wilt brinajabout a complete revelation in all branches of lighting. Oar Electric Lamp needs neither Machinery; Conductors, not any expensive outlay, and is neither complicated, nor disagreeable in manipulation ; all that- is necessary is to refill it every four or five days with acid. The cost of lighting will he as cheap.as ga& (three fourth cents per hour) and it has-before the latter the immense advantage of neither producing heat, smoke nor carbonic acid, owing to wh oh the air is not imputed, and remains at the same Viegree of temperature. It is further, absolutely inodorous, and does not need to be kindled by match, or otherwise, but simply by turning the key, thus avoiding all danger of fire, explosion or suffocatio , as in the case of gas, if the key is left open ; and it must be conceded that this advantage alone is invaluable. It is further preferable to any known kind of lighting for the following reasons :

(1.) Its manipulation is so simple that any child can keep it in order. (2.) That the Lamp is portable, and can be removed like any Oil Lamp, from one place to another. (3 ) That it neither "-equiies the disagreeable fixing of the wick, or the cleaning of the cylinder, as in the case of other Oil Lamps. (4.) That the light produced is a soft and most steady one ; that it never flickers, and the flame, though being equal in power of lighting to gas, can be regulated to any degreo, (5.) That evry danger of fire is absolutely excluded, as the light will extinguish im nediately, if by any accident the glass surrounding ! he burner should be broken. (6.) That it will burn, even in the strongest wind, completely unaffected, thus being invaluable for illuminations, lighting of gardens, corridors, etc.

This Lamp is constructed for the present in three different sizes ;

A. Small size. Height of Complete Lamp, 14 inches ; weight, about 5 pounds ; for lighting rooms, cellars, storage houses, powder magazines (or similar places where explosives are kept), coaches, illuminations, gardens, mines, T . or any other industrial purpose. P ice, LI. Per r amp, delivered free to any part of the world.

B, medinm size. Serves all domestic purposes for lighting rooms, houses, etc. This Lamp i« elegantly decorated, and has removable white ground Glass Globe. Pidce, per Lamp (inclus've of Bronze Foot and Globe, richly and elegantly constructed), L2, delivered free to any part of the world.

C. Grand size for Parlor, Hall, Saloon, Public Building, etc. The Lamp gives a most brilliant and steady light, has large removable white Globe, decorated most tastefully, and the workmanship is both first-class and elegant. Price, L 4 10s. Foot of Lamp in either Bronze, Japanese, Faience, or Silver Oxide. Any special size or design made to order. Estimates furnished.

All Lamps are ready for immediate use, and will be sent, securely packed in strong wooden box, with printed directions for use, a quant ty of chemicals sufficient for several months’ lighting, and one extra burner for size A, and two for sizes B and 0. The necessary chemicals can be purchased in any Drug Store, in even the smallest village. Every Lamp is accompanied by a written guarantee for one year, and will be exchanged, or mon°y refunded, if the same should not give complete satisfaction.
