A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The. American. Ambassador''at Vienna; . Mr. Kasson, has" lately. forwarded to' his ' ; Government an interesting acoourit.'pf a "'" remarkable I ,' surgical. operation lately-'per-7 ', formed by' Professor Billroth, \of Vienna,/' which, Wonderful to tell, consisted in'a ' removal of a. portion of the human stomach, involving nearly one-third of the organ— ' and strange to say, the patient recovered— the only : successful- operation of the kind ever performed. The .disease forwhioli this operation was performed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the followingsymptoms :—The appetite •is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable .distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been.de* scribed as a hint "all.gone" sensation; a ■ sticky slime collects about the teeth, especi- : ally.in the.morning, accompanied by an un« :' pleasant taste. Pood fails to satisfy this -, peculiar faint sensation; but, on the .con- , trary, 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, and 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 eud- ., i denly from a recumbent position,there is a ~;,? dizziness, a whistling sensation,/ and_ he <ie- ■■: obliged to grasp something firm' to keep.i'" from falling. The bowels costive, the'skin'r) 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, sometimes in a sour' and fermented condition, sometimes "*'"' : sweetish to the taste. - Oftentimes there is a palpitation ,of the heart,. 1 and .the-patient',"' , ;, fears' that he may have'heart disease,, :: To-:;.' ! wards thelast the patient is unable to retain i any food whatever, as the opening in the intestines becomes close ; 6r nearly so. "" Although this .disease is indeed alarming,; ; sufferers with the above-named symptohw /-' should 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 Jffie disease is. Siegel's.Curative;Syrup, a " vegetable preparation sold by all chemist and medicine vendors, and by the proprietorSjA. J".' White, (Limited),. London, '■'■■ • Eigland. This Syrup Btrikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root : and branch, out of the system. Waterloo House, London Stile,. Chiswick, -.■■•.■

This,would bo fol- ■. i, lowed by excessive trembling of my knees, - so that I could not stand without support; / after which a severe headache would Scour!; lasting atouttwo or three days.- I have, ;: tried various remedies for, these, distressingsymptoms, butf.uhtil I tried "Siegel's SJyrdp' , ~':'' I Had no relief,; : Since then I have had eX''.f cellent health In every respect, and if ever 1 ■' feel an headachn'comingorii take one ! dose:' ' of the Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that', this testimonial may be the means of inducing others {who suffer as I used) : to try the; Syrup,-,asl f eel.sure they will receive epeedy!' benefit and ultimately be cured, I beg, to, remain, yours faithfully,- ; • m:v,-. : : ..■■ ,:, A.H.HORTOIf.

I had tried all .possible means to get. relief, : by seeking the. best nedical , advice. I had swallowed..sufficient of their stuff to float .a ;speak, but all to no avail. A.friend of .mine,; coming,/:;: on the scene in the midst of my sufferings, ■:'■> brought with , him a bottle of your Seigel . j Syrup; he advised me to try, it, stating he'; ; ; felt confident it would benefit me. Being i,i •weary of trying so many drugs, I condemned ■ ! it before trial, thinking that it could not . possibly do, me any good, but ultimately .determined to .take the.Syrup.' After doing.so.... for a short time it worked such'a change.in me that I continued taking it for nearly two months, and I then felt'thoroughly cnred, for I have discontinued its use for five ; - weeks, and feel in the best of health, and can partake of any kind of food with ease aridoomfort. lam therefore thankful to you that, through the instrumentality of your valuable medicine, I am restored to the state of health I now enjoy.—Yours truly, : ; , : 'W.
