SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION. The Amercan Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kasson, has la ely forwarded to his Govern ment an interesting a' count of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Profes sorßillroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal .of a por ion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ—and, strange to say, the patient recovered—the only surgical operation of the hind ever performed. The disease for which this 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 has been described as a faint “ all gone” sensation; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especially in t.e morning, ac- j companied by an unpleasant taste. Food fails j to satisfy this peculiar faint sensation ; but, on the contrary, it appears te aggravate the f<. cl ing, The eyes are sunken, tinged with yellow; thfhanHg and feet become cold and sticky—al cold perspiration. The sufferers feel tired a 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 fore bodings. When rising suddenly from a recum bent position there is a dizziness, a whistling sensation, and he isobliged to grasp something firm to keep from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry sed hot at times ; the blood be



coming thick and stagnant, and does not circu late p operly. After a time the patient spits jp food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the 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 opening in the intestines becomes close, or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine



hundred and ninety-nine cases out of a thou sand bare no cancer, - but simply dyspepsia, a d!«wia» easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Seigels Cnrative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors throughout the world,’ and by the pro prietors, A. J. White (Limited), I 7» Famng don road, Ldndon, E.C.; or the wholesale agents, ICempthorne, , Prosser and Co. s ew Zealand Drug Company (Limited), Dunedin, Christchurch, Wellington, and Auck and. This 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. r *' Sir,— It gives me great pleasure to inform you of the benefit I have received from ' eigel s Syrup. I have been troubled for years with dyspepsia; but after a few doses of the Syrup, I found relief, and after tak ng two bottles of II feel quite cured. . 1 am, Sir, yours truly, William Brent. Mr A. JV White. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir,—l find the sale of Seigel’s Syrup steadily increasing. All who have tried it speak very highly of its medicinal virtues : ope customer describes it as a “ Godsend to dys peptJcpeople.” I always recommend it with confidence. Faithfully yours, (Signed) Vincent A. Wills, Chemist-dentist, Merthyr Tydvil.



To Mr A. J. White. Seigel’s Operating P.lls are the best family physic that has ever been discovered. They cleanse the bowels from all irritating _ sub stances, and leave them in a healthy condition. They core costivencss. Preston, September 2ist, 1883. My Dear Sir, —Your Syrup and Pills are still very popular with my customers, many saying they are the best family medicines pos ible. > SfcThe other day a customer came for tw’ bottles of Syrup and said “ Mother Seigel, had saved the life of his wife, and he added “ one of these bottles f am sending fifteen miles away to a friend who is very ill. I have much faith in it. The sale keeps up wonderfully, in fact, one would fancy almost that the people were be ginning to breakfast, dine, and sup on Mother Seigens Syrup, the demand is so constant and the satisfaction so great. - I am, dear Sir, yours faithfully, (Signed) W. Bowker. Dear Sir,—l write to inform yon that I have derived great benefit-from “ Seigel’s Syrup.” For some years I have suffered from liver com plaint, with its many and varied' concomitant evils, so that my l~e was a perpetual misery Twelve • months a*o 1 was induced to try Seigel’s Syrup, and although rather sceptical, having tried so many reputed infallible reme dies, I determined to give it at least a fair trial. In two or three days 1 felt considerably better, and now at the end of twelve months (hav ng continued taking it) 1 am glad to s y that 1 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. 1 can say triily, however, that Seigel’s Syrup has come as a*■ boon and a blessing ”to me. I have recommended it to several fellow-sufferers from this distressing complaint, and their testi mony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude tor the benefit I hive derived from e excellent preparation, prompts me to fur sh you with this unsolicited testimonial. 1 am. dear Sir, Yonrs ever grate'ully, (Signed) Carey B. Berry, Baptist Missionary.
