SKILFUL SURGICAL OPERATION

The American Ambassador at Vienna, Mr Kas ■on, has lately forwarded to his Government an interesting account of a remarkable surgical opera tion lately performed by Professor Billroth, of Vienna, which, wonderful to tell, consisted in the j removal of a portion of the human stomach, in volving nearly one-third of the organ and, strange to Bay, the. patient recovered —the only successful operation of the kind ever performed. The disease for which this operation was per formed was cancer of the stomach, attended with the following symptoms The appetite is quite poor. There is a peculiar indescribable distress in the stomach, a feeling that has been described as a faint “ all gone ” sensation ; a sticky slime collects about the teeth, especially in 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—a cold prespiration. 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 suddenly from a recumbent position there is a dizziness, a 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 becomes thick and stag nant, and does not circulate properly. After a time the patient spits up food soon after eating, sometimes in a sour and fermented condition, sometimes Bweetish to the taste. Oftentimes there is a 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 intestines be comes closed or nearly so. Although this disease is indeed alarming, sufferers with the above named symptoms 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 the disease is Seigel’s Curative Syrup, a vegetable preparatiou. This Syrup strikes at the very foundation of the disease, and drives it, root and branch, out of the system.
