A FATAL MISTAKE IN AMERICA.

The Cleveland (Ohio, W.B-A.) Prww, f Feb. 23, 1888, publishes mi account of a tat surgical operation which *M <»»»«d • «*•» commotion among nodical m«« tbroughou the whole country, Dr. Thsyer, the no< eminent surgeon in 01ewland, pwnoaneißg > scandalous. It appears that • Mw. King hi ' been suffering for man/ yean with torn disease of the atomaoh which had resisted t-. treatment of all the physieans in attendane . The disease commenced with a flight derail* • ment of the digestion, with a poor appetit . followed by a peculiar indescrbable distress the itomach, a feeling that bat been detent i aa a faint " all gone " sensation, a *ticky •Urn collecting about the teeth, cau»ing a disagree able taste, especially in the morning. Th> teatttion fii not removed by food, bat o ihe contrary, it ni inonaMd. The eye* the. 1 ecame tinged with yellow, and were waken. After awhile the hands and feet became cold «nd sticky— a oold perspiration, rhere vat • constant tired and languid feeling. The followed a dreadful nemra-neas, with gloom forebodings. When rising mddenly tker eameadissy feeling like vertigo. After « time the bowels became costive, to that it wa difficult to procure a movement without cathartic. Soon followed a deposition to sp tip the food after eating, sometimes in a soar ermented condition. All this deraagemen reused a terrible palpitation of the heart, s > as to make the breathing diffletlt. Finally, the patient was unable to retam any food whatever, and there wa* constant pain in the nMoinen. All prescribed remedies failing to cive relief, a consultation was held, whea it was decided tbat the patient had a cancer in the stomach, and, in order to save tke patimt's life an operation was justiiable. Accordingly on Feb. 22, 1888, the operation was performed by Dr Vance, in the presence of Dr. Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier Dr. Anrs. Dr. Gordon, Dr. Lapuer, and Dr. Hailiwell of thp Police Board. The operation consisted in laying open the, cavity of the abdomen and exposing the stomach bowels, liter, and pancreas* When this had been don*-, an ex tminatioa of the organs wts made, but, to the horror and dismay of the doctors, there was ao cancer to be found. The patient did not awe acanoer. When too latp. the medical men discovered tbat there bad been a terrible mistake* They sewed the varts toother and dressed the wound that, thf-y h«d made, hut the poor woman sank from exhaustion and died in a few hoars. How cad it must be for the basbatd of this poor woman to know that bis wtie died from th efecs of a surgical operation that ought never to have been performed. If this woman bad t*kea the proper remedy for dyspepsia (for tbis is what the disease realty was). eke would bate been living to-day. B4gel's Iterative a remedy made expressly for dyspepsi or indigestion, has restored many such oases to prefect health after all other kinds of treatment ' have failed. The evidence of its ♦fflcacy in curing ths class of oases is too voluminous to be published bate, bat those who read the published evidenoe in lavour oi this dyspeptic remedy do not question its convincing nature j aud the article iait aa • itercire sal*-.
