A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The Americrn Ambassador efc Vienna, Mr Kasson, lias forwarded to hie Government an interesting account of a re markable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billrotb, of Vienna, wh:ch, •wonderful to tell consisted in tbe removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving neirly one-ibird of the organ —and strange to soy, the patient recovered—the only successful" operation of the kind over performed. The dißOtise for which the operation was performed was cancer of the Btomach, attended with tbe following symptoms: —The appetite is quite poor. There ip a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has besn described as a faint, " all gor.e" sensation 5 a ■ti'ky clinic collects about the teeth, especially in the rooming, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satis fy this peculiar faint Bengation j but on the contrary, it appears to aggravate tbe feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hands "arid feet become cold and sticky—a sold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to giro rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled with evil forebodings. When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels coetne, 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 ealing, some* times in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes aweetish to the taste. Oftentimes ; there is a palpitation of tbe heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease. Towards the last the patient is unable to retain[any food whatever, as the openings in the intestines becomes closed, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, eufferers with the above named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but (imply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Siegel'sCurative Syrup, a vegetable preparation told by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, London, E.C., or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Proaser & Co.'a New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. This Syrup strikes ut the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.

St. Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir,—lt gives roe great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I hare received from Sicgel's Syrup.

My Dear Sir,—Your Syrup and Pills are Btill very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said "Mother Seigel " had saved tbe life of his wife, and ho added, "one of. these bottles I nm sending fifteen miles away to a friend wha is very ill. I have much faith in it." The cole keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one •would fancy almost that the people wre beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel'e Syrup, the demand is so constant and ttie satisfaction ao great.

I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. :VTd A. J. Wbit-, Esq. Spanish. Town, Jamaica, West Indies, Oct. 24, , 1882.

Deor Sir,—l write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from "Seigel's Syrup." For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied cencomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. Twelve months ago I was induced to try Seigel'B Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried many reputed infallible remedies, I determined fco give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days I felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (haying continued taking it) I •m glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they "coma as a boon and a blessing to men," , arid I,bare no reason to doubt the truthfulH nets of the statement. I can truly say, how- ' / ever, that Seig'el'a Syrup has come as a " boon and & blessing" to me. I have recommended it. to «everal fellow sufferers from this distressing complairjt, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from the excellent preparation prompts me to furnißh you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am, dear sir, Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) Carey B.
