An Extraordinary Operation.
The story of an unprecedented heart operation is telegraphed by the St. Louis correspondent of the New York: Heralil (Paris edition). A 13-year-old girl in that city had been stabbed, and Dr Boyle of the city hospital, fearing that the knife had penetrated the heart, removed the orgun with a pair of forceps, elevated it into view. and examined it for two minutes. No in- jury could be found, and the heart was put back in its place with no apparent injury to the patient. The actual removal was effec- ted by cutting through two ribs and pushing the lung aside.

THE NEW FRENCH REMEDY
THERAPION
MARK
This successful and highly popular remedy, as employed in the Continental Hospitals by Ricord, Rustan, Jobert, Velpeau, and others, combines all the desiderata to be sought in a medicine of the kind and surpasses everything hitherto employed. THERAPION No. 1
in a remarkably short time, often a few days only, removes all discharges from the urinary organs, superseding injections, the use of which does irre parable harm by laying the foundation of stricture and other serious diseases.
THERAPION No. 2
for impurity of the blood, scurvy, pimples, spots, blotches, pains and swelling of the joints, secon- dary symptoms, gout, rheumatism, and all diseases for which it has been too much a fashion to cm- ploy mercury, sarsaparilla, &c., to the destruction of sufferers' teeth and ruin of health. This pre- paration purifies the whole system through the blood, and thoroughly eliminates every poisonous matter from the body.
THERAPION No. 3
for nervous exhaustion, impaired vitality, sleepless- ness, and all the distressing Consequences of early error, excess, residence in bot, unhealthy climates, &c. It possesses surprising power in restoring strength and vigour to the chilitated.
