State Medical S cle y Hasn't Giv<*n Up
Struggle to Secure One.
DR. LeHiRDT SUBMITS THE BILL
Which Wl.ll Be Presented To the Next Legis
lature. Urges Drainage of Swamps,
etc as Neooeesarly to Health.
The State Medical Society has not given
up its struggle to secure a state board of
health for Georgia. It wilt be remem
bered that at the last meeting, of the as
sociation, held in Macon last April, Dr.
K. P. Moore of this city offered a resolu
tion as follows:
“Resolved, That this association Rec
ommends the adoption by the legislature
of an act to create a commissioner of
health and drainage for the state of
Georgia.” «
Dr. J. B. Morgan, of Augusta, offered
this substitute:
“I wish to off dr as a substitute that
this association appoint as a committee
of one Dr. LeHardy, who is conversant
with the question, has given it a great
deal of attention, and is one of the best
authorities in the South, to properly
bring it to the attention of the public,
and of the legislature at its next ses
sion.” The substitute, being seconded,
was carried.
In accordance with this action of
Jhe society, Dr. LeHardyof Savannah
has just issued an address to the
grand juries, ordinaries, county com
missioners and medical profession of
the state, calling their attention to
the matter, and asking their earnest
■consideration, as he believes it to be
one of the most important measures
ever brought before the legislature
and people*of the state. The act to
be carried before the next general as
sembly reads:
An act to create a commissioner of
health and drainage for the protection
of life, the preservation of health and
the prevention of disease in the state
of Georgia. .
Section 1. Whereas, the interests of
the people of this commonwealth re
quire the enactment of some law for
the preservation of the public health
and the thorough drainage of malaria-,
laden lands and swamps, therefore be
it resolvedly the general assembly of
the state of Georgia,that within thir
ty days after the passage of this act,
the governor shall appoint a com
missioner of health and drainage for
a term of four years, who shall be a
physician of skill and experience, the
graduate of a chartered school of
medicine in good repute, who shall
have control of all mattejs pertaining
to public health in the state, and who
shall supervise the drainage of lands
and of swamps, whenever called up
on by the authorities of any county
in the state, provided the use of state
convict labor is granted by the gov
ernor thereof.
Sec. 2. There shall ba provided in
the capitol of the state air office to be
known as “Department of Health and
Drainage,” which shall be supplied with
such furniture, books and stationery as
may be needed to carry out the provis
ions of this act.
Sec. 3. The commissioner of health
and drainage shall be provided with a
secretary, of his own selection, who
must be a physician of good repute and
well versed in state medicine. He shall
perform all the duties pertaining to his
——
Beware
01 the Me.
Mr. Lincoln Nelson, of Marshfield, Mo ,
writes: “For six years I.have been a
sufferer from a scrofulous affection of
the glands of my neck, and all efforts
of physicians in Washington, p. C.,
Springfield, 111., and St. Louis failed to
reduce the enlargement. After six
months’ constant treatment here, my
physician urged me to submit to a re
moval of the gland. At this critical mo
ment a friend recommended S.S.S.,
and laying aside a. deep-rooted preju
dice against all patent medicines, 1 be
gan its use. Belo I had used one bot
tle the eulargein . began to disappear,
and now it is er, rely gone, though lam
not through wit • my second bottle yet
Had I only used your S.S.S. long ago,
I would have escaped years of misery
and saved over $150.” .
This experience is like that of all whe
suffer with deep-seated blood troubles.
The doctors can do no good, and even
their resorts to the knife prove either
fruitless or fatal. S.S.S. is the only
real blood remedy; it gets at the root bf
the disease and forefes it out perma
. uently.
S.S.S. {guaranteed purely vegetable)
K Real Blood Remedy*
Is a blood remedy for real blood troubles,
it cures the most obstinate cases of
Scrofula, Eczema, Cancer, Rheumatism,
etc., which other so-called blood reme
ties fail to touch. S.S.S. gets at the
root of the disease and forces it out per
' manently. Valuable books will

Specific Co., At-
lanta, Ga. W W
office and assist the commissioners when
ever called upon to do so. Both the
commissioner and his secretary shall de
vote themselves to the performance of
the duties set forth in this act.
Sec. 4. The pay of the health and
drainage commissioner shall be thirty
five hundred dollars ($3,500) per an
num, and his secretary shall receive fif

to be paid out of the state treasury.
Seo. 5, It shall be the duty of the com
missioner of health and drainage to in
form the authorities of every city and
town, and the ordinaries and commis
sioners of every county in the state, of
the provisions of this act, and to re
quest their co-operation in the work of
removing' local causes of disease, in pre
venting the spread of epidemics among
men or animals, in ascertaining the pre
vailing diseases and the causes of mor
tality, in obtaining, reliable records of
births, marriages and deaths in every
city town and county, and in getting
accurate information relative to the
area of undrained lands and swamps,

public health; to use the state convict

tation for said labor. It shall be his
duty to supervise such works. In case
of the occurrence of an epidemic dis
ease breaking out among men or ani

because it al ways cures. Mrs. Hemming,

About Frank Sparks.
The Boston Herald of Thursday has
the following to say of Frank Sparks
pitching for the Philadelphia team:
“The Phillies were again at the
mercy of the Bostons yesterday, and
after the third inning were not in the
game. Sparks, one of the youngsters
just acquired by the Phillies, was put
in against the veteran Stivetts, and it
proved an nneqnal match. The young
ster has fine curves, good command and
handles himself well, but he was hit
hard, and only some excellent fielding
saved him from worse punishment than
he got. Again, the Philadelphia club
could not begin to accord him the sup
port that the Boston players gave their
pitcher.” . •

COTTON COMPABKE,
Mr. B. D. Lumsdeg Plants a Row of the
Egyptain By the Common Cotton.
Mr, B. D. Lumsden, the well known
Bibb county planter, has mado prac
tical test of tbe Egyptian cotton, com
monly known in tbe state as the black
seed cotton, and Saturdky be brought
to the Macon Telegraph office a stalk
of this and also one of the ordinary
Georgia plant He planted a rWw of
each side by side and cultivated them
in tbe same way. Tbe seeds of the
Egyptain cotton had been sent to him
by the government’s agricultural de
partraent, and he determined to test
it thoroughly. The fibre is of superior
quality and much finer than the or
dinary cotton planted in Georgia, and
is said to be worth about 16 cents a
pound. Os course, if it could be
bandied and cultivated with as little
expense and produced in the earns
quart ty as the G -orgia cotton it would
pay all Georgia farmers to abandon
the common variety and take up this.
But Mr. Lumsden’s experienced is
that, they had had better stick to the
old variety Be says it costs a great
deal more to raise it, and requires
special machinery for ginning it, this
machinery being more costly than the
apparatus now in use for common cot
ton. The stalks are more delicate and
do not bear as much fruit. The bolls
have only three lobes, while the Geor
gia plant has four. The roots of the
Egyptian cotton are comparatively
slight, the laterals being strings,
while tbe Georgia variety has large,
vigorous shoots that will stand almost
any kind of wind.
