Deafness in Children The medical journals of the United:: ■ States endorse without exception the suggestion made by Dr Well in the , "Archives of Otology," based on his examination of the ears and hearing oi „., nearly 6,000 school children, namely/ that in every case of inattention the child should have its ears examined, so convinced is he of the fact that children ;■ ; ■ , who are simply hard of hearing l are often!' ■ misjudged and considered inattentive 1 . Indeed such an examination he thinks would be desirable once or twice^. a year, , „ for every child, the test being made in the schoolroom itself if there be no other • room convenient; that is, the teichef *"' could place the pupil in one corner pf the „.-. . room, then retire to the other himself arid v . test each ear separately by whisper&bjf-i* --■ • causing) the words and sentences us'e^'Ho' ~ >: be repeated by the pupil, and thus easily find out which of them are hard of hearing. This, it is believed, would have, the. > ! further advantage of calling the attentipjit ). '' of parents to the condition of IbtAfn . \/ children, and inducing them' fc>ift«t>: ? liaccordingly ; or, what would ''bl'<i^l ? * *■> better, a surgeon. should have .'the K(BeJtii ;il of the schools in charge, includingl.the' examination of the ears of every pupit whom the teacher finds inattentive. A SKI LFUL SITRGICAL 7 J OPKRAUON :r ; r „..„-,.. The American Ambassador at Vienna Mr Kassob, has lately forward; 1 ' ' ed to his Government an interesting* ' ! : account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Pro-- ' l : fessor Billroth, of Vienna, which, : wonderful to tell, consisted in the removiil of a portion of the human '. stomach, involving nearly one third " a oi the organ — and, strange to sajr, ' the patient recovered — the only ' ' successful operation of the kind ever. performed was. cancer ot the stomach, attended with the following Cfmp- ] , toms— The appetite is quite poor. '. Ihere is a peculiar indiscribafcjle- .• distress in tbe stomach, a feelingthat ! .^ '[ has been described as a jaiixtiff'j^-'.J/ gone" eensatioc • a sticky. ]' cbllects about the teeth, especially in , the morning, accompanied bj T an , nnpleasant taste. Food iaiis -^ to satisfy this, peculiar taint sensation.; but, on the contrai y, it' appears JtO- £!() aggravate the feeling. The eyes afe . ' sunken, tinged with yelhw; the. ' J , hands and feet become stipky-7-a c6\d l : '":' perspiratiori. 1 "I he sufierers : !sss<s./■;' i all tbe time, and sleep does f not sejem '' " ; to give rest. After a time the patient '•'■ ''' • becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, ,\ . iiis mind filled with evil forebodings; " ; When rising suddenly from arecuior bent position there is a dizziness, a > whistling sensation, and he is obliged > to grasp something, firm to keep, :i from falling. Ihe bowels 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 condition, sometimes^ sweetish to • the taste.' Oftentimes there is a palpitation «f the heart, and .... the uatient fears he may huve heart disease. Towards , the; last jijthej Sl patient is unable to retain any food whatjever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarm- / .iug, sufferers with: tbe above-named .•• : symptoms should hbt , feel nervoos^ tor 999 cases out of a 1000 have no cancer, but simpj^ dyspepsia, a! disease easily removed if treated ih !I a propel' • manner. The safest and best' remedy' for the disease is ".^eigal's Curative .
