A S KILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION. The Amei'lccn Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has forwavded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Tienna, 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 fay, the patient xc covered —the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which the operation was performed was cmcar of the stomach, athnded with the fol'owing symptoms :—The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been dcs cribed f9 a faint, " all <jck°," sensation ; a eti ky slime collects about the teeth, espec allj in the morning, accompanied by f n unpleasant taste. Food feile 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 dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he is obliged grwp something firm to keep from falling The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and does not circulate properly. After a time khe patient spite up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, Bometimes sweetish to the taa'e. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears he may have heart disease. Towards tho last the patient is unable to retain any food whatever, as the openings in the intestines becomes closed, or nearly so. Although this dise.se is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms 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 Ihe disease is Sie^el's Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J Whito (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, London, E.C., or the wholesale agents, Kempthovne, Prosser & Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auckland. This Syrup strikes at the. very foundation of the disease, Mid drives it, root and branch, out of the system. St. Mary-street, Peterborough, November 29th, 1881. Sir, —It 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 doßes of the Syrup, I found relief, and after taHng two bottles of it I feel quite cured. I am, Sir, yours truly, Mr A. J. White. William Bront. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sin —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) Vincent A. Wills, Chfmist-dentist, Merthyr Tydvil. To Mr A. J. White. Seigel's Operating Pills are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanee the bowels from all irritating eubstances,' and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure cottiveness. Preston, September 21st/ 1883. My Dear Sir,—Your Syrup and iPills 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 Baid " Mother Seigel " had 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 V." The sale keeps 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 faitlifully, (Signed) W. Bowker. To A. J. Whit-, Esq. Spanish Town, Jamaica, West Indies, Oct. 24, 1882. Dear Sir,—l write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from " Seigel'a Syrup." For some years I have suffered from liver complaint, with its many and varied concomitant evils, so that my life was a perpetual misery. T'wolve months ago I was I inducedto 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) 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, bowever, that Seigel's Syrup has come aa a " boon and a blessing "to me. I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from thia distressing complaint, and their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for the benefit I have derived from the excellent preparation prompts me to furnish you with this unsolicited testimonial. I am, dear Bir, Yours ever gratefully, (Bigned) Carey B. Berry, A. J. White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Hensingbam, Whitebaven, Oct. 16, 1882. Mr A. J. White.—Dear Sir, —I was for Eome 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, yours respectfully, (Signed) John F. Lightfoot.

A prohibitionist calculates that the amount of liquor made and imported into the Uniied States in 1882 would till a canal 10ft. deep, 20ft. wide, and 76 miles long. An unfortunate beggar-woman went into a shop at Liverpool the other day, and asked the master for relief. He wishing to play a joke npon an acquaintance who was present, said to her: •■ Ask that centleman—he's the master." She immediately turned to him with : " Will your honour spare a trifle for a poor distressed woman ?" " Are you really in distress?" said the gentleman, "Indeed, sir, lam in sad distress." "Well, then give her sixpence out of the till, said he to the master, and immediately walked out. In vain the master protested that he was the master. She would not believe him, but so pertinaciously urged her request that he was at length obliged to give it, to rid himself of the annoyance.
