A SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.
! 0 The American Ambassador at Vionna, \ Mr. Kasson, lias lately forwarded to liis : " Government an interesting account of a 11 remarkable surgical operation lately perif formed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, 0 which, wonderful to tell, consisted in a i removal of a portion of the human stomach ' involving nearly one-third of the organ— h and strange to say, the patient recovered— il tho only successful operation of the kind S over performed. The disease for which i. this operation was performed was cancer of ! the stomach, attended with tho following fc ymptbins:—The appetite is quite poor, 1 There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been doI scribed as a faint "nil gone" sensation; a 3 sticky slime collects about tho teeth, cspeci- '• ally in the morning, accompanied by an un - pleasant taste. Food fails to satisfy this ', peculiar faint sensation; but, on tho coni trary, it appears to aggravatotho feeling, ■ The eyes ate sunken, tinged with yellow; t the hands and feet become cold and sticky— ? a cold perspiration. Tho sufferers feel tired , all the time, and sleep docs not seem to give . rest. After a time the patient becomes nervous and irritable, gloomy, his mind filled ! with evil forebodings. When rising sud- • denly from a recumbent position there is a i dizziness, a whistling sensation, and ho is . obliged to grasp something firm to keep , from falling. The bowels costive, the skin dry and hot at times ; tho blood becoming 1 thick and stagnant, and docs not circulate ! properly. After a time the patient spits up . food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes sweetish to tho taste. Oftentimes thero is a palpitation of the heart, and tho patient fears that ho 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 Avith the above-named symptoms should not feel nervous, for nine hundred and nin ty-ninc cases out of a thousand have i\: cancer, but simply dyspepsia, a disease o.sily removed if treated in a proper manner. The safest and best remedy for the disease is Sicgcl's Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparation sold by all chemist and medicine vendors, and by the proprietors, A. J. White, (Limited), London, England This Syrup strikes at tho very foundation of tho disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system East-street Mills, Cambridge-heath, London, F.C., July 21th, 1882. "Sir,—lt gives me great pleasure to lie able to add my testimony in favour of yonr valuable Syrup as a curativo agent. I have suffered for some length of time from a '< severe form of indigestion, and (lie long < train of distressing symptoms following that ' disease, I had tried all possible moans to get relief, by seeking the best medical i advice, I had swallowed sufficient of their stuff to float a man-of-war, so to speak, but j all to no avail. A friend of mine, coining , on the scene in the midst of my sufferings, ; brought with him a bottle of your Seigcl ■ Syrup; ho advised me to try it, stating ho ' felt confident it'would benefit me. Being weary of trying so many drugs, I condemned it before trial, thinking that it could not possibly do mo 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 cured, 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 case , and comfort. lam therefore thankful to you that, through the instrumentality of your valuable medicine, I am restored to the stato of health I now enjoy.—Yours truly, W. S. FORSTER, Waterloo House, London Stile, Chiswick, February 17, 18S2, ' Messrs. White and Co., London. Gentlemen,—lt is with great pleasure that I add my testimony to the wonderful effects of " Scigel's Syrup." For years I havo been suffering from bilious attacks, which began with giddiness ; then a mist would come beforo my eyes, so that I should not bo able to recognise anything at a distance of a yard or two from my face. This would be followed by excessive trcmblinc of my knees, so that I could not stand without support; after which a severe headache would occur lasting about two or three days. I havo tried various remedies for these distressing symptoms, but until I tried "Sicgcl's Syrup 1, I had no relief, Since then I ha\ c had excellent health In every respect, and if ever 1 ] feel an headache coming on I take one dose of tho Syrup, which arrests it. Hoping that this testimonial may be tho means of inducing others (who suffer as I used) to try tho Syrup, as I feel sure thoy will receive speedy benefit and ultimately bo cured, I beg to ( r.imain, yours faithfully, A. 11. IfORTON. To Mr. A. J. White. September Bth, 1883. Dear Sir, —I find the sale of Soigol's *\ Svrnp steadily increasing. All who havo tried it speak very highly of its medicina 1 virtues; one customer describes it as a Godsend to dyspeptic people." I always ioommend it with confidence.
