rrE CURE FOR MALARIA.

rr. Bass, who has had charge OF
Rolvar county's Anti Malaria
r,mpaign during the past year,
,lked very interestingly at the
Fnmers's Institute at Stsneville
,,,t week on the certain cure for
malaria, Following is the gist of
what be said;
Malaria is recognized and deplor-
ID wherever its effects have been
tuowp, and it asserts itself in va
dous forms as being the cause of
xricus ailments. We have discover
ID I certain remedy fol- it, aud only
one. When you ask your physi-
dan what will cure typhoid, be
must answer that he doesn't know.
He must give the same answer
vhen asked for the remedy that
will certainly cure pneumonia and
number Of other things. But the
medical profession today has one
answer when asked about the cure
dmaiaria. There is one .-oectain
for It. and only one under the sun
and that is quiuine. Quinine is
certain cure, and given in the right
/ way and continued for sufficient
length Of time will certainly kill all
malarial parasites that prey upon
the human being
Dr.. Bass stated that in conduct
ing the government experiment
Tor the eradication of malaria in
this state recently the investigation
covered an area of one hundred and
hfty.two square miles, with over
fifteen thousand population, and
that where the remedy was taken
as prescribed not a single death
had resulted. The ST eaker recon-
n,ended that 20 grains Of sulphate
Of quinine be taken every "a hours
iof tour week where malaria exists
and that the quantity for children
'hsuld be regul tied according to
'ge one half grain being gived for
VERY year of the child's age.
Many questions were asked in
DC open forum relative to the mos
|uito and the newly discovered
featment for malaria, all of which
'ere emit I'd carefully into bv the
pecialist, whose wide experience
as Presented every phrase in the
leatnent and cure o. diseases

MRS. ANNIE L. TAYLOR DEAD

The followiog, from the Com
mercial Appeal of Friday. Sept. IS.
tells of the tragic death of Mrs.
Annie L. Taylor, who lived in
Rasedale several years, moving to
Memphis about eight years ago.
She was the wife of J. T. Taylor,
who worked for the Ward Lumber
Company agd afterwards for the
Refuge Oil Mill. OF this city:

ally swallowed large amount of
carbolic acid which resnlted i'll hes
death at the City Hospital We'd
nesday night, according to state
ment BY her husband. J. T, Taylor,
yeste rday.
Mrs. Taylor suffered frsm heart
attacks, her husband said yester-
day, and was advised by her ply
sician to smell the acid to strength
en- her. He thinks that during
one Of the attacks the bettle became
upset ard she swallowed some of
it. However, he states that the
amount Mrs. Taylor was not
enough to cause her death.
Mrs. Taylor was discovered
Wednesday afternoon in a dying
condition In her home at 342 West
Iowa Street by L. N. Nolen, a
friend of the family. who was stay
ing at the home for protection.
while Mr.. Taylor was in Arkansas,
ply ing his trade as a millwriRht.
Nolan called DR.. S. w. Thorn
Immediately. but they were unable
to do anything for her and called
the City Hospital ambulance. DIR.
Thorn wo, ksd with Mrs. Taylor
until the ambulance arrived and he
and N.,an placed her in it.
DR.. Thorn said yesterday that
he did not share in Mr.. Taylor's
belief that his wife's death was
accidental.
Mrs. Taylor is survived by a
daughter IA years of age and a son
eight. She was Miss Annie Gaalft
of Jackson, Miss, before her mar
riage, and both she and her hus-
band came from meas Jackson Miss.
