! A FATAL MISTAKE.^
Vjt~
f Tiie Cleveland (Ohio) Press,
(of February 23d, 1883, pub
lished an account of a fatal
surgical operation which caused
'a great commotion among med
ical men throughout the whole
country, Dr. Thayer, the most
eminent surgeon in Cleveland,
pronouncing it scandalous. It
appears that a Mrs. 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, followed
by a peculiar indescribable dis
tress in the stomach, a feeling
that lias 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 increased.
After a while the hands and
feet became cold and sticky-—
a cold perspiration. There
was a constant tired and lan
guid feeling. Then followed a
dreadful nervousness, with
gloomy forebodings. Finally
the patient was unable to re
tain any food whatever, and
there was constant pain in 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 to save the patient's
life an operation was justifi
able. Accordingly, on the 22d
of February, 1883, the opera
tion was performed by Dr.
jVance in the presence of Dr.
.Tuckerman, Dr. Perrier, Dr.
Ar ms, Dr. Gordon, Dr. Capner,
and Dr. Halliwell of the Police
Board. The operation consist
ed in laying open the cavity
of the abdomen and exposing
the stomach and 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. I he pa
tient did not have a cancer.
When too late the medical men
discovered that they had made
a terrible mistake; but they
sewed the parts together and
dressed the wound that they
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 tue
proper remedy for Dyspepsia
and Nervous Prostration (for
this was what the disease really
was), she would have been liv
ing to-day. Shaker Extract of
Roots, or Seiokl's Curative
Syrup, a remedy made ex
pressly for Dyspepsia or Indi
igestion, has restored many such
cases to perfect health after all
other kinds of treatment have
failed. The evidence of its
efficacy in curing this class of
eases is too voluminous to be
published here; but those who
read the published evidence in
favor of this dyspeptic remedy
do not question its convincing
nature, and the article has an
extensive sale.
The Effects of the Storm.
Much lias been written in the city
papers about the damages done to du
nce crop in this parish by the late
storm, but it is safe to assort that the
\viiters,_thereof have been misled by
erroneous information.
Every editorial which has appeared
n our large eity dailies on the effects
>f tI^o storm, tends to demonstrate b -
yond a doubt that the writers were en
gaged simply in guessing or that the
facts of the case were grossly misrepre
sented to them.
It is unnecessary to state that the
damage done by the gale to the rice
op in that section embraced between
Pointe-a la llaehe and tlio New Jump
h is been greatly exaggerated.
We write from information furnished
to us by prominent planters of the sec
tier, which suffered from the oveifiow:
Plaquemiue Obseiver,
He Earned His Money.— "It's one
hundred dollars in your pocket," whis
pered the defendant's lawyer to the
juror, "if yon cau bring about a ver
diet of manslaughter in the second de

Such proved to be the verdict, and
1 <? lawyer thanked the juror warmly
as he paid him the money.
'•Yes" said ihe juror, "it was tongh
work, but I got there after a while.
\ll the rest went in for acquittal."
