PHILLIPS LEE GOLDSBOROUGH, GOVERNOR. 1455
there are no dependents and the deceased employe leaves suffi-
cient estate to pay same, all expenses of last sickness and burial
shall be paid by said estate and not by the employer or insur-
ance 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 medicine to injured employes en-
titled thereto and for the payment therefor.
SEC. 37. Notice of an injury for which compensation is
payable under this Act shall be given to the employer within
ten days after the accident, and also in case of the death of the
employe resulting from such injury, within thirty days after
such death. Such notice may be in writing, and contain the
name and address of the employe, and state in ordinary lan-

injury resulting therefrom to the Commission, and also to any

and the probable duration of the injury resulting therefrom;
(b) whether the accident arose out of or in the course of the

SEC. 38. Where an employe is entitled to compensation
under this Act he shall file with the Commission his application
within thirty days together with the certificate of the physician,
if any, who attended him.

this Act, certificates of attending physician, if attended by a
