"I was .called up Sundays night, a week ago, by , Dr. H. F. Bent, of Midville, who asked (if we could supply him anti-toxin, say (ing he had five or six cases, with fatal ' results in o:ost of them. 1 took all we Iliad in the laboratory and mailed it at | the pottofflee that night. "I heard nothing more tmt.il Wednes day. when Dr. Bent telephoned for ' more serum. He asked if the board | could not send down a physician to take charge. He was told tliat serum i would be furnished freely, but the liin • ited appropriation for the bo&rd would - not permit the expense qf hiring a phy sician to go to the scene. li was shown Ur. Bent that it was pot the piolicy of the board to take charge of patients and assist in their treatment, partly because of lack Os funds and partly because we did not believe it just-to physicians to s. nd some one paid by tin? state to take charge of their private practice. “Dr. Bent was shown that there was absolutely nothing- to be done in an epidemic such as he described except keep the patients isolated and admin ister anti-toxin. The presence of an other doctor could not be of value in treating the three or four patients who have had the disease since the board was notified, and certainly ..the board could not employ' nurses and guards to treat and quarantine people. “As the situation stands, the only thing that remains for the hoard to do within its legitimate purview would be to quarantine Burke county and to cut it off from communication with the outside world.” Waynesboro Puts Up Quarantine Bar WAYNESBORO, GA., Dec. 23.—The city' Council of Waynesbord has passed an ordinance quarantining against Burke county, and has placed guards on all the roads and railroads entering the city. The question of closing all the busines houses was discussed, but this was not deemed avisable at this time. The county commissioners are doing all in their power to assist in pre venting the spread of the disease, and have quarantined and placed guards. They,also have sent nurses and have vailed upon the governor to demand that thb State board of health do its duty anil send some one to help in han dling the situation. Tlie virulence of the epidemic has caused the strict quarantine. In order to prevent the city from becoming in fected, and the failure of the state board to come to the immediate assis tance of the eounty iuthorities has been severely criticised. The conduct of the Midville physi cians in leaving also has been the sub ject of caustic comment. Jacobs’ Cathartic Dovers-Quinine Relieves Without Affecting Sight or Hearing, Cold in the Head or Chest, Coughs, Grippe, etc. • Does Not Act Like Quinine A lIIAR IIC DOV EHS-Ql ININE possesses all the curative virtue of quinine, without *•* its bad effects, and is perfectly safe for any one to take. It does not nauseate or gripe, does not cause ringing or buzzing nor make yon dizzy, does not affect the sight. Taken at the beginning of a cold it does not produce heavy sweat and you can continue your work without interruption; but it throws the cold out of your system so quickly you hardly realize you had a cold. Relieves Congestion by Stimulation Combines with the qbinine, cascara sagrada. which is one of the best laxatives known. The first thing it does is to stimulate the liver to increased activity and relieve the congestion through free bowel movement. Then, with increased liver activity ami blood flowing quickly, muscles relax and nerves are relieved from the tense strain. The quinine draws out the fever and inflammation, opens the passages of the head and breaks up the cold at once. Quickest, Safest Remedy and Easiest to Take All pains and aches are relieved alter two or three doses; in a few hours even a deep-seated'cold or hard attack of grippe is completely broken up. We know of nothing tliat acts so quickly and with so little discomfort to the patient. Taken at the beginning of a cold or grippe, it will prevent a severe attack. Prepared in both form>.

Dee. 23.—Bos ton, in Thomas county, is to have a Carnegie library, and it will probably be the smallest town in the state to boast of such an institution. The mayor of Boston has been notified by the Car negie Corporation Company that $6,000 has been donated for this purpose, and as sopn as the plans and specifications for tlie building and approved the mon ey will be available. It is to the women of the Twentieth Century club that the town is indebted for this valuable institution. About a year ago Mrs. O. T. Hopper, president of the club, asked Mayor Blanton to take up the matter of the library with Mr. Carnegie, which he did, though not with much hope of success, as it was feared that Boston was too small a town to receive a donation for such a pur pose. A favorable hearing was ob tained from the philanthropist, how ever, and the result is that Boston is assured of having a library at an early date. The town council has guar anteed Ssu a year to, maintain it and the women have secured and paid for a site upon which to build it. C. S. MELLEN INDICTED UNDER SHERMAN LAW NEW YORK.
