A SKILFUL STUGICAL OPERATION. The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasscn, has forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billrotb, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, invoking 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 was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms : —The appetite is quite poor There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that hus been described as a faint, " all gone " sensation 5 a ■tieky slime collects about the teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation j but on the contrary, it appears to aggravate the feeling. The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; the hands. and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep does not seem to give 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 dizzinoßs, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. Thr bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at timrs ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time fcha patient spits up food soon after eatiDg, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and'the pttitnt fears he may have heart disease. Towards the last the patient is unable to retainlany food whatever, as the openings in the intestines becomes closed, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named sjmptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Siegel'aCurative Syrup, a vegetable prpparat ion ■old by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, London, E.G., or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Proßser & Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Ohristchurch, Wel.ington, and Auckland. Tbis Syrup strikes at 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 me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from Siegel's Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found-relief, and after taking two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, bir, yours truly, Mr A. J. White. Willinm Bront. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir, —I find the sale of Seigel's Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues; one customer describes it as a " Godsend to dyspeptic people." I recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Viacent A.

My Dear Sir,—Your Syrup and Pills are still 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 " bad saved 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 keepß up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people w?re beginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigel's Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. To A. J. Wbit*, Esq. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies,? Oct. 24, 1882. Dear Sir,— I write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from "Seigel's Syrup." For some years I have suffered from liter 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 roputed 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) I am glad to say that I am a different being altogether. It is said of certain pens that they " come as a boon and a blessing to men," and I have 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" t& me. I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testimony iB quite in accordance with nay own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from the excellent 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. 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 give Mother Seigel's Syrup a trial, which I did. lam now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health.—l remain, jours respectfully, (Signed) John F. Lightfoot.
