SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION



THE American Ambassador at Vienna. Mr Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately per formed by Professor billrotb. of A ienna, 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 sayj the patient recovered—the onlv successful operation of the kind 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 i the stomach, a feeling that has been described ns a faint ciU <jouc' sensation ; a slime collects about the teetu, especially in the morning. accompanied by .an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar Prut sensation ; but, on the contrary it appears to aggravate the feed; :u:. the eyes: aiv sunken, tinged, with, yellow ; Use hands and feet become cold and sticky—a _ cold perspiration. Ibe sunder tools tiled ail tsie time, and sleep does not seem to give lest. After a time the patient becomes corwit and it rifable, gloomy, hi; mind til it:’, with ev forebodings. When rising suddenly from recumbent position tlu.ro is a dizziness, a whirling sensation, and ho is onbVed to grasp something linn 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 the patient, spits up food soon after eating, some times in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the heart, and the patient fears bo 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, sulferers with the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and uinctv-uiue ca cs out of a tbou.-aud have no cancer, but simply dyspgi'.sin. a disease easily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is tSi.igel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable prepara itnu soid i.v all etc mists and medicine venders throughout the world, and by the proprietors. A". J. White (i united). If, Farriugdon-road, London, K.e . this Syrup strikes at the very' foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.

Dear Sir, —1 write to inform you that I have derived great benefit from “ Seigel” Syrup.” For some years 1 have suffered from liver complaiut, 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 so 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 I -dossing to men ” and 1 have no reason to doubt the truthfulness of the statement. a can truly say, however, that Beigel’s Syrup i has come as a “ boon and blessing ” to me. : I have recommended it to several fellow sufferers from this distressing complaint, and . their testimony is quite in accordance with my own. Gratitude for tiie benefit 1 have derived from this excellent preparation, ; prompts me to furnish you with this un - solicited testimonial, s I am, dear bir, e Yours ever gratefully, (Signed) Caiey 13, Berry,
