A SKILEuL SURGICAL OPERATION.

The American Ambassador at Vienna,
Mr. Kasson, has lately forwarded to his
Government an interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billrolh, Of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted. in the removal of II portion
Of the human stomach, involving
nearly oneLhird of the organ-and,
strange to say, the patient recovered
the 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 a peculiar indies
cribablc distress in the stomach II feel.
ing that has been described MS II faint
"dH .eORcn sensation Il sticky slime col.
lCCls about the teeth, especially ia 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 sunken, tinged with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
cold perspration. The sufferers feel
tired ali the time, and sleep does not
seem TO give rest. After time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore.
bodlngs. When rising suddenly from
rccumbcnt position there is n dizziness,
whistling sensation, and he is obliged
to grasp something firm to keep from
falling. The bowels costivc, the skin
dry and hot at times; the blood becom.
ing thick and stagnaut, and does not
circulate properly. After time the
patient spits up food soon after eating,
sometimes in sour and fcrmcntcd con.
dition, sometimes swectish 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, rs the opening in the intcs-
tines becomes closed, or nearly so. AL.
though this disease is indeed alarming,
sufferers with the above named symp-
toms should not feel nervous, for nine
hundred and ninety-nine cases out of
thousand have no cancer, but simply
dyspepsia, Il disease easily removed II
treated in proper manner The safest
and hest remedy for the disease is

paration sold by all chemists and medi.
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White (Limit-
ed), II, Earring don-road, London, L. G.
This Syrup strikes mt the very founda-
ton Of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.

when his arm was poised for his strongest
blow aud the crown OF success was descending
upon his head So far as this world goes, my
brother died before be had reached bis forty
five years Of his age. The six years Of sick
passed with wonderful cheerfuDess and an
unfaltering faith. The last months he spent
at the home Of his brother (the writer Of this),
at Dover, N. H., and died in his arms there on
the morning Of October 10th, 1872, saying, as
the darkness fell upon his eyes: "Put me

study, and Of extended travel we're then at his

his reader enchanted. With a theme congenial
and an occasion to arouse him, his vigor and
| elegance have never been excelled by writer
