i FATAL MISTAKE IN A RICA. The Cleveland (Ohio, U.S.A.) Press of Feb 23, 1883, publishes an account of a fatal surgical operation which has caused a "reat commotion among medical men thvouo-hout the whole country, Dr. Thayer, the must eminent surgeon in Cleveland, pronouncing it scandalous. It appears that a Mrs King had been suffering for many years with some disease of the stomach which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance The disease commenced with a slight derangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, followed by a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint "all gone sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagreeable taste, especially in the morning. This sensation was not removed by food, but on the contrary it was increased. The eyes then became tinged with yellow, and were sunken. After awhile the hands and leet became cold and sticky—a cold perspiration There was a constant tired and languid feeling. Then followed a dreadful nervousness, with gloomy forebodings. When rising suddenly there came a dizzy feelin" like vertigo. After a time the bowel! became costive, so that it was difficult to procure a movement without a cathartic. Soon followed a disposition to spit up the food after eating, sometimes in a sour fermented condition. All this derangement caused a terrible palpitation of the heart, so as make the breathing difficult. Finally, the patient was unable to retain any food whatever, and there was constant pain in the abdomen. Ail prescribed remedies failing to give relief a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and, in order to save the patient s life, an operation was justifiable. Accordingly, on Feb. 22, ISB3, the operation was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms. Dr. Gordon, Dr. Lapuer, and. Dr. Halliwell, of the Police Board. Ihe operation consisted in laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach, bowels, liver, and pancreas. When this had been done, an examination of the organs was made, but, to the horror and dismay of the doctors, there was no cancer to bo found. The patient did not have a cancer. When too late, the niediterrible mistake. They sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that they had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in- a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation tnax ougut iißvei- t<-> "«'" """" i If this woman had taken the proper remedy for dyspepsia (for this is what the j disease really was), she would have been living to-day. Seigel's Curative Syrup, a remedy made expressly for dyspepsia or indigestion, has restored many such cases to perfect health after all other kinds of treatment have failed. The evidence of its efficacy in curing this class of cases is too voluminous to be published here, but Sold by ANOTHER CASE IX POINT. "Crofton, Christian Co., ivy., U.S.A., "January sth, 1382.
