A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kbbigtj, baa forwarded to his Government an ntereßting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billrotb, of Vienna, wircl], wonderful to tell consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and Btrange to say, tbe patient recovered—tbe only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which -the operation was performed was onncer dft.be Btomacb, attended with the following symptoms :—The appetite je quite poor. There is a peculiar inde?cribable dißtreea in tbe stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint, "all gone" sensationj a iticky 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 slicky—a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired all the time, and sleep doea not seem to give rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritttble, gloomy, his nr.nd filled with evil forebodings. When rising Buddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whistling seneation, and he is obliged tograep something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times; the blood becoming thick and stagnant, and dofß not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eatiDg, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, •ometimes sweetish to tbe taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the 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 bo. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms ■hould 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'a Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation cold by all chemists and medicipe vendors throughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 1.7, Farringdon-road, London, E.G., or the wholesale agents, Kempthorne, ProßEer & Co.'s Few Zealand Drug Co. \(Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, WeliiDgton, and Auckland. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, •ndi drives it, root and branch, out of the fTstem.

To Mr A. J. White. Seigel's Operating Pills aye the beet family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating substances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They cure c«»tiveness. ■■, Preston, September 21st, 1883. My I)ear Sir,—Your Syrup and Pills are •till very popular with my customers, many tsying t they are the best family medicines possible. The other day a customer came for two bottles of Syrup and said " Mother Seigel " had saved the life of Ihb 'wife, and he added, "one 'of theße bottles lam sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it." The Bale .keep's up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people w^re beginning to breakfaßf, 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. Whit-, Eeq. Boimißb Town, Jamaica, .West Indies, Oct. 24, 1882. . Dear Sirj—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 concomitant evils, so that my life was a pet?' .petnal misery. Twelve months ego 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 considerably better, and now at the end of I twelve months (having continued taking it) I am glad to nay that I am a different being altogether. It is said of fertain pens that they " come as a boon and a blesemg to men," and I have no reason to doubt the truthfulneßS of the statement. I can truly s&y, however, that Soigel's Syrup has come as a *' boon and a blessing" ts me. I bate recommended it to leveral fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, andf their testimony is quite in aoeordaDce-'witli 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 sir, . , Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) . Oarey B. Berry, A- J. White, Esq. Baptist Missionary. Henßinghatn, Whitehaven, Oct. 16,1882. Mr A. JV White.—Dear Sir,—l was for tome time afflicted with piles, and was advised to giveJMother Seigel's Syrup a trial, which I did? lam now happy to state that it has restored me to complete health.—l remain, Jo «r.re.pe^u^ John H . Lightfoot.
