SUDDEN DEATH
Caused by Disease Of the Kidneys.

The close connection which exists
between the Eeart and the kidneys is
well known nowadays. AS soon as
kidneys are diseased, arterial tension is
increased and the heart functions are
attacked. When the kidneys no longer
pour forth waste, uremic poisoning
occurs and the person dies, and the
cause is often given as heart disease, or
disease of brain or lungs.
1t is good insurance against such q
risk to send 10 cents for a sample
package of vAnuric ~ the latest dis
covery of DR.. Pierce. Also send a
sample of your water. This will be
examined without charge by expert
chemists at DIR. Pierce's Invalids' Hotel,
Buffalo, N. Y. When you suffer from
backache, frequent or scanty urine,
rheumatic pains here or there, or that
constant tired, worn-out feeling, it's
time to write DIR. Pierce, describe your
symptoms and get his medical opinion
without chsrge-absolutely free. This
"Anuric" of Doctor Pierce's is found
TO be 81 times more active than lithia,
for it dissolves uric acid in the system
as hot water does sugar.
Simply ask for DR.. Pierce's Anuric
Tablets. There can be no imitation.
Every package of rAnuric" is sure to
be DR.. Pierce's. You will find the sigma
ture on the package just as you do on
DR.. Pierce's Golden Medical Discovery
for blood and stomach.

SUNKEN HULK OF
BOAT is RAISED
Old Sand Soow Recovered From Bot
tom Of Head Race by Water
Works Employees.

Ottumwa Courier: The Ott1mwa
water works has just completed the
work OF raising the half buried hulk
Of an old boat from the bed of the
head race a short distance below the
point where the water leaves the Des
Moines river. The presence of the
craft in the stream, hitherto unknown
was first discovered soon after the
river below Turkey island reached its
low record stage, and work was at
once begun toward raising 1t. The
weeds and brush in the vicinity OF
the sunken derelict had to be cut out
so that men and teams could ap-
proach the scene of action.
The boat was found to be slightly
tipped on dts edge, although upright
in the water, and was almost buried
in the mud, obstructing the flow OF
the stream to a great extent. The
depth Of the water at this point Is
about five feet Men entered the
race and ropes were attached and
with the aid of a capstan the boat
was soon righted and floating in the
water. 1t was necessary to tear the
structure to pieces in order to re-
move 1t from the stream.
Officials at the water works are
unacauainted with the history Of the
boat and are unable to say how or
when it was sunk. U. G. Reed, chief
engineer at the works, who has been
an employee for twenty-five years
states that the discovery of the wreck
this summer was the first knowledge
he had of its existence. The boat,
which is Of the type used to haul
sand, was about fifty feet long, twelve
feet wide and four feet deep, without
a deck. The white pine timbers, Of
which it was built, are in perfect con-
dition, and viii be brought to the
plant and utilized.
