A SKILEuL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
MIR. kasSon, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of Il
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, Of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly Onethird of the organ-and,
strange To say, the patient recovered
tile only 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 II peculiar indies.
CriDablC distress in the stomach, II feel.
ing that has been described as faint
"dH &ORc' sensation; Il sticky slime col.
lccts about the teeth, especially i'll the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, it
appears To aggravate the feeling. The
eyes are sl,nkrn, tingcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
a cold perspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time, and sleep docs not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
ticnt becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore.
bOdings. When rising suddenly from
rccumbcnt position there is dizziness,
whiStling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm TO keep from
falling. The bowels costive, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood bccom.
ing thick and stagnant, and does not
circulate properly. After Il time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fermcntcd con.
ditiOn, sometimes swcetish to the taste.
Oftcntimes there is II 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, Us the opening in the mites.
tines becomes closed or nearly SO. Al.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with Tie above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and nincty.nine cases out Of Il
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, a disease easily removed if
treated in proper manner The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigcl's Curative Syrup, n vegetable pre-.
paration sold by all chemists and medi.
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprictors, \. j. White (Limit.
cd), II, Farringdon.road, London, L. c.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda.
ton Of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

Army OF GERS onExtra Dutv,

Judge Lawrence, first comptroller Of
the treasury, has made an adverse de-
cision in what is known as the Meigs
case. This involved the right of re-
tired army officers who is designated
by act of congress to preform duties in
connection with the erection of public
building to receive compensation for
such services. Gen. M. G. Meigs was,
in accordance with the provisions Of the
act of Aug. 7, 1882, commissioned by the
secretary of the interior to be supervis-
ing engineer and architect for the erect
ion of a new pension building, The Sc:
cretary fixed his compensation at the
rate Oslo a day. The comptroller
holds that congress has right to add

an officer is not entitled to any compen-
sation unless SO provided by statute.

DEATH SUPERSTITIONs.

Hew1ing Dogs and Other Signs Of Disso1u-
II think people are getting to be bet
ter educated, and, as aconsequence, are
less superstitious than they used to be, !"
said Patrick Drake, the undertaken, in
talking about the matter. "I've heard
o lot of these things in my time--I ought
to, I've laid away nearly 5000 people
but I never remember them. OF course
you've heard that the bowling Of a dog
is sure sign of death; that seems to be
generally believed in. The guttering
of candle is another. To bring a
dead body into a house means that
some of the people who
live there will shortly die; if a corpse
after death is not laid out.straight some
people also believe that another death
will also follow. There are great
many more of these things but I never
charge my memory with them. It is
now only in the lower and ignorant class
that you find people who believe in
them, and it is growing harder to find
them every year Waking among the
lower Irish is also less common. The
most superstitious races are the Scotch
and Irish, the Germans and English
somewhat, and the Americans least Of
