A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Xasfon, has forwarded to hie Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor I Billrotb, of Vienna, wlrch, 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—tbe only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which tbe operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the follow* j -'ing symptoms:—The appetite is quite poor. There is. a peculiar indeieribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint, " all gone " sensation; a •ticky slime collects about the teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied by an 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 hands ' and feet become cold and sticky—a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, ard 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 to grasp something firm to keep from falling. >Thei bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at limes; i the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and I does not circulate properly. After a time the il - patient spits up food soon after eatiDg, some-1 times in a sour and fermented condition, I

sometimes sweetish to tbe taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the ' patient fears he may have heart disease. Towards the last' tbe patient is uDable to! retain any food whatever, as the openings in i the intestines becomes closed, or nearly so. Although this diseßio is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms •bould 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 iold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, \A. J. White (Limited), 17, Farringdon-road, 1 London, 8.C., ~or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, Prosser & Co.'s New Zealand Drug Co. (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, i Wellington, and Auckland. . This Syrup, atrikes at the very foundation, of the disease, •nd«drives it, root and branch, out of the aystem. - --""'■ St r Mary-BtreetrTeterborougli, November 29th, 1881.
