A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his Government en interesting account of a remarkable surgical operation lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the removal of a portion of the human stomach, involving nearly onethird of the organ—and, strange to say, the patient recovered—the only succe-sful 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 in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “ all gone ” sensation; a st icy slime collects about the teeth, especially in the morning, accompanied bv an unpleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy the 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 j perspiration. The sufferer feels tired all the | time, and sleep dees not seem to give rest, i After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomv. his mind filled with evil for.'bndings When rising suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a whirling sensation, and h‘ j is obliged to grasp something fiun io keep from failing. 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 soo > after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweeii hto the taste. Oftentimes there is a palpitation of the h 'art, and the patient fears lie may have heart, disease, rowaids the las' 'hr* pstie: ti< unable to retain any food whatever, as the openings in the intestine-* becomes clone, or nearly so. Although thi-» disease is indeed alarming, s';ffeierß with the above-named symptoms should not fe«4 nervous, for nine hundred and i.ineiy-i me cases out of a thousand have no cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a di.-ease easily removed if neated in a proper manner. The eafrß!. and best remedy for the disease is Seigle’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemists and medicine vendors thioughout the world, and by the proprietors, A. J. White (Limited), 17, Fairmgdon road, London, E.C. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and bianch, out of the system.
