It appears that a J\lrs. King had been suffering for many years from some disease of the stom ach, which had resisted the treatment of all the physicians in attendance. The disease commenced with a slight de rangement of the digestion, with a poor appetite, foil owe by a peculiar indescribable dis tress L 'he stomach, a feeling that Las been described as a faint “all gone” sensation, a sticky slime collecting about the teeth, causing a disagree able taste. This sensation was not removed by food, but, on the contrary, it was increase After a while the hands an' feet became cold and sticky— a cold perspiration. Titer was a constant tired and lar guid feeling. Then followed : dreadful nervousness, wit,] gloomy forebodings. Finalk the patient was unable to re tain any food whatever, and there was constant pain ia the abdomen. All prescribed rem edies failing to give relief, a consultation was held, when it was decided that the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and in order tosaveihepatient’s life an operation was justifi able. Accordingly, on the 22d of February, 1883, the opera tion was performed by Dr. Vance in the presence of Dr. Tuckernian, Dr. Perrier, Dr. Arms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner, and Dr. phlliwell of the Police Board. The operation consist ed iu laying open the cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach aiid bowels. When this had been done an examin ation of the organs was made, but to the horror and dismay of the doctors there was no cancer to be found. The pa tient did not have a cancer. When too late the medical men discovered that they had made a terrible mistake; but thev sewed the parts together and dressed the wound that the v had made, but the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hours. How sad it must be for the husband of this poor woman to know that his wife died from the effects of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman had taken the proper remedy for Dyspepsia and Nervous Prostration (for this was what the disease really was), she would have been liv ing to-day. Stiakek Extract < Roots, or Sew el’s Cubativ Syrup, a remedy made ex pressly for Dyspepsia or Inui gestion, has restored man v sue cases to perfect health after al other kht: Is of treatment have failed. The evidence of it eiiicacy in curing this class o cases is too voluminous to be published here; but t 1 ose who read tiie published evidence in favor of this dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature, and the article has aa extensive sale.
