time of the naval battle of 1910, when
the Turkish fleet was completely de-

striking success. These fortunate
divers have become rich, but the
Turkish government also has obtained
some large amounts, inasmuch as it

which sank in depth of thirty faith

mostly single, double and quadruple
ducats.
1t already has been announced that
on the first shipment to Constantine

the sum of 276,000 francs. The daily
work of the divers amounts to from
5000 to 10000 pieces of gold. A spe-

this place suffered great deal with
dizziness in her head. She was cured
OF this by remedy called Dodd's Kid

since.
Shortly afterwards she had bad
bilious attack, and for this she used
Diamond Dinner Pills and was com
pletely cured in short time.
In January, 1903. she had an attack
Of Sciatica, of which she says:
