Lee County Ca , Friday JUNI 20, 1923 Georgia Doctor Finds i Cure for Deadly Ili Cranford’s Discovery Is ' Hailed as One of Greatest ' SAVANNAH, Ga. June 24.— What is termed by Dr. Darling of the Rockefeller Foundation, Research Department, as *‘one of the greatest discoveries ever made in the history of medical research,’’ has been made by Dr. Cranford, of [.ee County, accord ?to Dr. J, W. Daniel, president of }the Medical Associations of Geor gia, who has just returned from the meeting of the Medical So ciety of the Third District. which was held at Montezuma. In discussing the discovery, Dr. Daniel said, “the efforts of Dr. Cranford will, in the opinion of Dr. Darling, of New York City, who was so interested in the matter that he attended the session of the Thiid District Medical Society, cause thousands of lives to be saved in South America, Africa and Pannama Canal Zone, where the kind of Malarial fever effected by the discovery, as well as in America. “This kind of malarial fever produces a degeneration of the red blood cells with a pronounced anemia and is characterized by‘ passage of the coloring matter of ] the red blood cells in the urine. | This type of malaria has been very deadly and has baffled the ‘medical profession. It prevails toa great extent in Africa, India, Panama Zone, South America and in certain parts of the Unit }edStates. It is called by Euro pean physicians as ‘Black Water Fever. | “Dr. Cranford, who is anative physician and who has practiced medicine in Lee and adjoining counties for a number of yers, conceived the idea that if the in 'jection of horse serum would prevent bleeding and augment coagulation of blood, that would be a proper remedy to use in this type of fever. He experimented with his theory in several cases with the result that there was a cessation of the passing of the coloring matters of the blood in the urine and of the degenera tion of the blood cells and that the patient eventually recovered after this treatment had been given him.”’ No Paper Next Week As it is the custom of all coun try weeklies to take off the week of July 4th, we will not publish a paper from this office next week.

You can see the signs of cvery hand, Freckles and Skin ney and Pedhead are holding up two fingers as they meet in front of the butcher shop. Shoes are heing cast aside and the old two piece suit—pants and shirt— have taken the place of the school suit. Vacalion days are here and the gang will meet on the lot just as they met forty years ago, for boyhood neyer changes. The green foliage along the creek beckons, the old tin can with its lump of earth and wriggling worms has the same lure for the boy today that it had for you in the days gone by. ‘‘The last one in knows what he is’’ causes the wild scramble to slip out of clothing that it did when Hector was a pup. It’s the same old world fellows, that it used to be. The frogs croak at night, the sun shines into the bedroom window at morn. There are chores to do and dirty bare feet to wash at bedtime, circus poster has the same wild fascination. No, Tom, itisn’t the times that haye changed—it’s you. —Exchange. City Tax Notice.

THARP, CASHIER, Neggt Din « 7 V7t the Nerth DETROIT, Mich., Jurie 28.— So many friendless and unknown Southern negroes have died, been taken to the morgue, and failing identification have been buried in the potters field here that civic authorities, together with negro miniaters are taking steps to provide eyery immigrant Southern negro with an indenti fication card, giving the address of his nearest Southern relatives, or ‘‘white folks.” Seventy five per cent of the undentified dead in the Detroit morgue are negroes, according to the Detroit News, and the ‘majority of these are newly ar rived from the South, Tubercu losis, typhoid and in some cases actual starvation, are responsi ble for the majority of deaths, although a surprisingly large number of killings occur when the negro competes with the low grade immigrant, and race clash es between the negro and the immigrant classes are becom ing more frequent. New Appointees Here. G. E. Wilcox, of Tuckerman, Ark., and A. R. Long, of Broken Arrow, Okia., are the two new assistants who have been station ed at the Memphis weather bu reau. They are being ‘‘broken in’’ by Prof. J. D. Blanden, me teorologist, who is in charge of the office in the absence of J. H. Scolt, chief forecaster, new en gaged in special work at Wash ington. ‘Wilcox just recently stood the ciyil service examination and this is the first station to which he has been appointed. He will oceupy the place of Charles H. Bower, former assistant who left the service recently. Long has been in the weather bureau service for some time, in the capacity of observation bal lonist. Beginning July 1, he will have charge of the balloun department of the Memphis weather bureau. The equip ment for this department is due to arrive in a short time, he said yesterday.~Commercial Appeal. Number 10
