In fact, in most cases one dose is sufficient It nev’er fails and can be
relied uj>on in the most severe and dangerous cases. It is equally
valuable for children and the means of saving the lives of many

GOIEHUTI
MUMBLE
ATLANTA. Oa Owing to the fact
that a $2.10.000 appropriation msd‘<
at its last session by congress has
been exhausted, the government will
not he sble to sid the flood sufTerers
of Georgia and the adjoining states.
This appropriation ws* to meet anr
such emergency as flood or eyelone.
With It exhausted the war depart,
ment has no means at hand with
which to provide relief.
When Georgia was vlalted by the
recent well remembered cyclone, a
part of this appropriation went to the
help of its needy. But the want In
other states, and especially the con
dltlons caused by the floods In Louisi
ana, have completely exhausted the
appropriation, and the war depart
ment has Its hands tied by want of
funds.
Should the need In Georgia, as re
sult of the flood, grow too exireme
funds of the department might he
used and congress asked to repay
them. This will not he done, how
ever, unless conditions grow most
urgent.
Because of Its lack of money, the
department has not even ordered that
an Investigation of conditions In
Georgia and the adjoining states be
made.
