A sKIlFuL SURGICAL OPERATION.


The American Ambassador nj Vienna,
Mr.. Kasson, has lately forwarded TO his
Government an interesting account of a
remarkable surgical operation lately
performed by Professor Billroth, of
Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, con.
sisted in the removal of Il portion
of the human stomach, involving
nearly onc.third Of the organ--nnd,
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 q peculiar indies.
cribable distress in the stomach, a feel
ing that has been described as faint
"aH gone" sensation; sticky slime col.
lects about the teeth, especially in the
morning, accompanied by an unpleasant
taste. Food fails to satisfy this peculiar
faint sensation; but, on the contrary, II
appears 10 aggravatc the feeling. The
eyes are sunkcn, tngcd with yellow; the
hands and feet become cold and sticky
n cold pcrspiration. The sufferers feel
tired all the time and sleep does not
seem TO give rest After u time the pa.
tient becomes nervous and irritable,
gloomy, his mind filled with evil fore
bodings. When rising suddenly from
rccumbent 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 becom
| ing thick and stagnant, and does not
| circulate properly. After a time the
| patient spits up food soon after eating,
| sometimes in a sour and fcrmentcd con-
| dition, sometimes sweetish to the taste.
| Oftentimes there is 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, as the opening in the intes-
| 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 u
/ thousand have no cancer, but simply
| dyspepsia, disease easily removed if
| treated in proper manner. The safest
and best remedy for the disease is
Seigel's Curative Syrup, q vegetable pre-
paration sold by all chemists and medi-
cine vendors throughout the world, and
by the proprietors, A. j. White Uimit-
| ed, II, Farringdon.road, London, Il. G.
This Syrup strikes at the very founda-
ton of the disease, and drives it, root
and branch, out of the system.
