Interesting Experience of an In

DtHt
| No trouble is more common or more
misunderstood than nervous dyspepsia.
| People having it think that their nerves.
are TO blame and are surprised that they
| are not cured by nerve medicine and
| spring remedies; the real seat of the mis-
chief is lost sight of; the stomach is the
organ TO be looked after.
Nervous dyspeptics often do not have
any pain whatever in the stomach; nor
perhaps any of the usual symptoms of
stomach weakness. Nervous dyspepsia
shows itself not in the stomach SO much
as in nearly every other organ; in some
cases the heart palpitates and is irregular.
in Others the kidneys are affected; in
others the bowels are constpated with
headaches; still others are troubled with
loss of flesh and appetite with accutnu-s
lation Of gas, sour risings and heartburn.

PETROLEUM MARKET.

Saturday noon, Aug IS, 1897.
There have been fewer wells
completed during the past week,
and the results have, perhaps, been
less satisfactory, as there have been
quite number of dry holes, while
there have been fewer wells
brought in showing above the aver
age capacity. New work, howev-
er, is being prosecuted with vigor,
and better showing may be made
for the current month than is at
present indicated by the results of
the past two weeks. The pipe line
reports for July show a further
large reduction in stocks, the de-
liveries having been larger, while
the receipts were smaller than dur
ing the month preceding. Unless
there soon follows an increase of
production the inroads on the
stocks above ground may become
serious, as the season of increased
consumption is approaching. The
total stocks now amount to a little
more than 80, 900, 900 barrels, while
at the opening of the year they
were fully $500, 900 barrels, there
having been a shrinkage during the
past seven months Of 3, soc 900 bar
rels, or and average of $780, 900 bar
rels per month. A continuance OF
this drain on stocks cannot result
otherwise than an advance in prices

The export demand for refined
continues active, the shipments
during the past week again exceed
III 10000 barrels, nearly all going
in bulk, there being little demand
for oil in barrels. AS stocks abroad
are not above the average, large
shipments may be expected to con-
tinue, and will probably in
crease as the season of larg-
er consumption approaches.

manned steady at 6. 4oc for New York

confident that he has a good thing.

not entirely alone in his views is
shown by other operators starting
some experimental work. By the
end Of the month there will be Is
or 20 wells drilling in the Deer
creek district.
The Bridgeville district had lit
tie furry of excitement early in the
week, oCCasioned by the ManufaC-
turers' Gas company drilling a we'll
into the fourth sand Gu the Hanna
farm. The we'll made quite a show
ing when drilled into the sand, ard
the enthusiasts placed its production
at 400 barrels a day. Its reported
size made it quite a drawing card,
and a goodly number of operators
buried out to the we'll 10 watch it
drilled in, and were greatly disap-
pointed, for with deeper drilling the
oil dried up, owing to the gas pres
sure, and when drilled through the
fifth sand that formation proved
barren.
Two more dry holes were marked
up against Greene county during
the week. One is located ON the
Lightner farm and the other on the
Simpson, and both near Nineveh.
The two important wells on the
Rice farms near New Freeport,
failed to reach the sand, but are
promised for tomorrow.
Southwest Of the Whisky run
pool in Richie county, three new
wells were completed, two busters
and one producer. The latter is
the South Penn company's No. 2
!, Barnes and is making $50 barrels a
day. The same company owns one
Of the completed busters, located
on the Heyhurst farm, and the As
sociated Producers got the other
on the S. Bulngardner.
Late developments to the west
and south OF the Henderson, pool
lead to the conclusion that the end
of the producing territory has been
reached. The we'll completed on
the Nowery farm, south of Murphy
town, failed to reveal the oil pro-
ducing formation at that location

are not exaggerated there is real
