A Case of Dyspepsia.


Dyspepsia is caused by acute Inflammation OF
the nerves Of the stomach
II is by nervous energy that the muscles OF
the stomach contract and expand, and the dt-
pestive fluids are secreted. The muscular walls
of the stomach must be kept in vigorous action
until the process OF digestion is made complete
The nerve 6bres, like other tissues OF the
body, may become inhamed and diseased oy
neglect or other causes; then they must De
nourished and their strength restored IT IS
when the nerve hbres are overstralned by
worry of mind, overtaxing or neglect that they
become exhausted and weak.
Dyspepsia is but one instance where the
vital nerve force is necessary.
Discomfort ill-temper, low spirits, despond-
ency, dizziness, sick headache. heartburn, pal
pitation of the heart, distension of the stomach,
are some of the many forms that dyspepsia
takes.
The true cure must be the restoration to
strength of the nerves which govern the digestive
organs.

Miners in Mono County are actively
engaged in developing the new mining
district at Masonic Mountain and it
will not be the fault of the Chronicle
Union if the region fails to become
well known. The journal reports that
new finds reach Bridgeport every day
and that men are coming and going
to and from the district at all times.
The surrounding country is being To-
Gated for miles in every direction, the
locations extending into Nevada. A
townsite will be surveyed soon and
building has begun The main street
of the new town has been selected.
1t is reported that one company, the
Standard of Bodie, paid $4,000 for the
privilege of working two men on one
property for seven days. The owners
are sacking rock of which every piece

shoot or trap the marauder were all in
vain. and it became necessary to find
all of the new calves which CHANGED

an understandable fear of the sound of
a bell, and it has been found to be the
only protection that can be given to a
young animal on the unprotected, open
range.
When old Brindy came into the ranch
to water after weeks absence, Uncle
Pat" spied her Immediately. "She S

and we must find it quick, he
said
There was a chorus of offers to go
on the quest, for all of the young ranch

Pat" smiled Significantly, and contrary
to his usual custom did not offer any
instructions, although it was expected
that he would give explicit directions
how to proceed, as he usually did. when
it was a question of working the cattle "
Having spent a lifetime in the business,
his advice was respectfully sought and
needed But on this occasion he let
the little party ride off without any
word whatever.
1t was unanimously decided by the
searching party that the logical way
to find Brindy's calf was to watch
and follow Brindy, and upon this plan
it proceeded to act. Brindy raised her
head and looked curiously back over
her shoulder at the young horsemen in
her wake. Then unexpectedly she low

crate Indifference She grazed and

stretching forth her neck mooed Justify.
At once the searching party made off
in the direction toward which she had
looked and called Yes. they must
be on the right track, for Brindy was
trotting after them apprehensively Dis
mounting, the little party beat the
country thoroughly. Behind every log,
in every hollow of the ground, under
every clump of chamiso they searched,
expecting every minute to see wee
calf spring from its hiding-place. Brindy
continued to moo and look with APP
parent eagerness toward the spot in
which the hunt was hottest.

But the calf neither answered nor
