June 22. A special lo the Examiner from Goldfield, New, says: . IV. H. Clark, of Btiker City, Or., with his wife, arrived In Goldfield today and brought a story of death from the lower desert seldom equaled. He says that a party of prospectors crossjng the edge of Death Valley, lying between the Panamlnt and Funeral ranges of mountains, came across a party of nine men and three burros. Seven of the men and all the burros were dead. The two surviving men were in a pit iable condition. Their tongues were swollen so that they protruded from their mouths, and the action of the heat had so stiffened their limbs that they had to be carried on the backs of the rescuers' animals. No details can be obtained at present, as It is doubtful if the two men rescued can live. The bodies of the dead were rartlally covered by sand, and recogni tion was impossible. The burros lay dead with their packs strapped to them, and it is certain that the party had become lost, and in their vain search for water in that dry alkali Etretch of desert, had traveled In a circle until overcome by thirst arid heat, then lay down and died.

Thousands of sufferers know' that thm reason why they are irritable and de pressed and nervous and sleepless is be cause their food does not digest, but hoB to getrid of tho difficulty is the puzzling question. Good digestion calls for strong diges tive organs, and strength comes from a supply of good rich blood. For this reason Mr. Baysson took Dr. Williams Pink Pills for the cure of indigestion.

As tho result of using eight boxes of Dr. "Williams Pink Pills, about the merits of which I learned from friends in France, I have, escaped all these troubles, and am able again to take pleasure in eating." A very simple story, but if it had not been for Dr. Williams' Pink Pills it might have been, a tragio one. When dis comfort begins with eating, fills up the intervals between meals with pain, and prevents sleep at night, there certainly cannot be much pleasure in living. A final general breaking down must be merely a question of time. Mr. Joseph Baysson is a native of Aix-les-Baina, France, but now resides at No. 3429 Larkin street, San Francisco, Oal.

This valuable diet book contains an important chapter on the simplest means for the cure of constipation. WeaK Stomach. A weak stomach is most fre quently caused by the over worked and exhausted nervous system. The power that runs the stomach is the nerve force sent to it from the brain through the nerves. When the nerves are weak or exhausted the sup ply of energy is insufficient and the action of the stomach is impaired, and results in im perfect digestion dyspepsia. Dr. Miles' Restorative Nerv ine increases nerve force. It strengthens and builds up nerve tissue, gives vigor to the nerves and muscles of the stomach; this produces a healthy activity. Nervine allays the inflamma tion, heals the membranes, and makes the stomach strong and healthy. There is nothing that so quickly gives energy to the whole system as Restorative Nervine. T can't say enough for Dr. Miles' Nervine. I don't know what it will do for others, but It certainly cured mo of stomach trouble, and now I am as well as I ever was. Two physicians failed to relieve me. but in three or four days after taking Nervine I was much relieved. Four bottles mads ms a sound man. at the cost of $4.00." JAMES E. HART, Detroit, Mich.
