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.

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 be sent free to’ any address by the Swift 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.

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, their condition and effect upon the health of the inhabitants. He shall, when called upon to do so by the au thorities of any . county, city or town, repair to any point in the state, as soon as practicable and render such assistance as may be in his power to do in carry ing out the provisions of this act. Bee. 6.

Sec. 8. Repeals all conflicting laws. Condensed Testimony. Chas. B. Hood, Broker and Manu facturer’s Agent, Columbus, Ohio, certifies that Dr. King’s New Discovery has no equal as a Cough remedy. J. D. Brown, Prop. St James Hotel, 4 t. Wayne, Ind,, testifies that be was cured of a Cough of two years standing, caused by La Grippe, by Dr. King’s New Dis covery.

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.” . • Just try a 10c. box of Cascarets, the finest liver and bowel regulator ever made.

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.
