49. In addition to the compensation provided for herein, the employer
shall promptly provide for an injured employee such medical, surgical or
other attendance or treatment, nurse and hospital services, medicines,
crutches, apparatus, artificial hands, arms, feet and legs as may be required
by the Commission in an amount not to exceed five hundred dollars; pro-
vided however that the employer shall repair or replace any artificial
limb, eye, tooth or other part that shall be damaged or destroyed as a result
of an accident during the course of employment and if the artificial limb,
eye, tooth or other part is not repaired or replaced with three days follow-
ing its damage or destruction, then the employer shall pay the employee
such compensation for his lost time, if any, after the three-day waiting
period, as the Commission may direct. If an employer fails to provide
the same, the injured employee may do so at the expense of the employer.
All fees and other charges for such treatment and services shall be subject
to regulation by the Commission, and shall be limited to such charges as
prevail in the same community for similar treatment of injured persons
of a like standard of living, and in case death ensues from the injury within
three years, reasonable funeral expenses shall be allowed, not to exceed
the sum of one hundred and twenty-five dollars. Any bill for funeral ex-
penses contracted for an amount in excess of one hundred and twenty-five
dollars shall be null and void and uncollectible either out of the com-
pensation allowed or out of the personal assets of those obligating them-
selves to pay, unless and until said bill is approved by the Commission.
Provided, however, that if there are no dependents and the deceased em-
ployee leaves sufficient estate to pay same, all expenses of last sickness and
burial shall be paid by said estate and not by the employer or insurance
company, or Commission out of the State Accident Fund, as the case may
be. The Commission shall have full power to adopt rules and regulations
with respect to furnishing medical, nurse, hospital services and medicines
to injured employees entitled thereto and for the payment therefor.

resulting from such injury, within thirty days after such death. Such
