A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

Ihe American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kaseon, has forwarded to his Government nn interesting account of a remarkable sur(?ic:il operation lately performed by Professor Billrotb, 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 Bay, the patient, recovered —the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for ■which the operation was performed was cancer cf the stomach, a'totidid wiihthofrliuwing symptoms : —The appetite Ja quite poor. There is a peculiar inde«eribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint, " all gone " sensation ; » eti ky slime colleefß about, i he teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied bj an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation; but on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The pyrs are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hands and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. Tho sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to restAfter a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, hie mind filleu with evil foreboding?. When riring suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, » whistling sensation, and he is obliged togri?p something firm to keep from falling Tlip bowels costiie, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time the patient spite up food coon after eating, some* times in a aour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the tae'e. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he inuy have heart disease. Towards the last the patient is UDable to relain^any food whatever, as the openings in the intestines becomes closed, or neurly bo. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferer* with the above named symptoms should not feel nervoue, for nine hundred and ninety»mne cases out of a thousand ha*e no cancer, but eimply dyspepsia, a diaeaee easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Siegel's Curat i ye Syrup, a vegetable preparation fold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by tbe proprietor?, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, London, E.G., or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser & Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Ohristchurch, Wel.iDgton, and Auckland. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, •nd drives it, root and branch, out of tbe system. St. Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29t,h, 1881. Sir,—lt gives me great pleasure to inform you of the bent fit I have received from Sit gel's Syrup.

Preston, September 21st, 1883. My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Pilla are still votj popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The otb,er day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said " Mother Seigel " had saved the life of his wife, and lie added, "one of these bottles I am sending fifteen miles away to a friend wha is very ill. I h»ve nyich faith in it."

Dear Sir,—l write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from "Seigel's Syrup." For some years I have suffered from iiver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual 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 conßJderab'y better, and now at the end of twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain penß that they " come as a boon and a blessing to men," anil I have no reason to doubt the truthfulneßs of tbe statement. I can truly say, how- ! erer, that Seigel's flyrup has come as a " boon and a blessing" t« me. I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from thi3 distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from the excellent, I preparation prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am, dear sir, , ( Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, A. J. White, Esq BaptUt Missionary. Hensingham, Whitehaven.Oct. 16, 188 i. Mr A. J.
