yNeg9es Dying
: |1@G& the North

DETROIT, Mich, June 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 ministers are taking steps
to provide every 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
unidentified 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 RESPONSE
BILE for the majority of deaths,
although a surprisingly large
number of killings occur when
the negro completes with the low
grade immigrant, and race clash
es between the negro and the
immigrant classes are becom
ing more frequent.

Georgia Doctor Finds
Cure for Deadly iii
Cranford's Discovery Is
Hailed as One OF
Greatest

\ AN ANN An, Gd' JUNE -.
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..
Crawford, of Lee 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
DIR. Crawford 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 Third District
Medical Society, cause thousands
of lives to be saved in South
America, Africa and Panama
Canal Zone, where the kind of
Malarial fever effected by the
discovery, as we'll 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 baff1ed the
medical profession. 1t prevails
to a great extent in Africa, India,
Panama Zone, South America
and in certain parts of the Unit
ed States. 1t is called by Euro
pean physicians as Black Water
Fever.
CDR. Crawford, who is anative
physician and who has practiced
medicine in Lee and adjoining
counties for a number Of yeArs,
conceived the idea that if the in
lection 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 experimental
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-
ton of the blood cells and that
the patient eventually recovered
after this treatment had been
given him."
