A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The Amriican Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasion, has forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remark -blc surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, 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, the patient recovered —the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which the operation wan performed was , cancer if the stomach, attended with the follow- j ing symptoms:—The appetite is quito poor. : There^ is a peculiar inrVciibable dietreas in , the stomach, a feeling that has been dps J cribed as a faint, " all gon°" sensation; b j sti-ky slime collects about the teeth, espec ally in the morning, accompanied by »n 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 hand--and feet become cold and nticky—a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give rest After a time the patient become* nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil forebodings. When riring suddenly from a recumbent position there is n dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged togrunp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at limes; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food toon- after eating, sometimwfcvtJn ft sour and fermented condition, Bow e /ies sweetish to the tas'e. Oftentimes thfMgß palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may bave heart disease. Towards the last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the openings in the intestines becomes closid, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms j should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand hare no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for Ihe disease is Siegel's Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, FBrringdon-road, London, E.C.. or the wholesale agents, Kcmptborne, Pl-osser & Co.'c New Zealand Drug Co. (Limiled), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wel.ington, and Auckland. This Syrup etrikcß at Ihe very foundation of the disease, »nd drives it, root and branch, out of the system. St. Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881.

Si r> __lt gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Siegel's Syrup. I have been troubled for year.B with dyspepsia ; but after a few doses of the Byrnp, I found relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, MrA.J. White.

My Dear Sir,~Your Syrup and Pills are B t.ill very popular with my customers, many ■aying they are the best family medicines possible. ♦ The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said "Mother Seigel" had Bayed the life of his wife, and he added, "one of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a, friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it." The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one •would fancy almost that the people were beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel's Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great.

Dear Sir,—l write to infoim you that I have derived great benefit from "Soigel's Syrup." For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied cencomitant evils, so that mv life was a perpetusl misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel's Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried many reputed infallible remedies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) 1 am glad to say that 1 am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they " come as a boon and a blessing to men, and I bftTe no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. I can truly say, however, that Seigel's Byrup has come as a " boon and a blessing " U me. I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, and tbeir testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude tor the benefit I have derived from the excellent; preparation promptß me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial.

lam, dear sir, Youra ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, A. J White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Hensingham, Whitehaven, Oct. 16,1882. Mr A. J. White.—Dear Sir,—l was for tome time afflicted with piles, and was advised to eive Mother Seigel's Syrup a trial, which I did lam now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health.—l remam, yours respectfully
