The New Orleans daily Democrat. [volume] (New Orleans, La.) 1877-1880, 1879-03-17

The year is now far enough advanced to
allow us to consider the business outlook for
1879. What Is it2 Will we have another year
OF prostration and bankruptcy, or will it be
q year Of recuperation and progress. The
New York papers express themselves as
profoundly pleased with the situation In that
city. It's trade, taking In comparison the
comparative purchasing value Of the dollar
to-day with that of last year, Is greater than
ever before. There Is no doubt that there are
fewer persons out of employment In the me-
tropolis now than at any time since 1873.
Building Is going on at an extraordinary rate,
thanks to the elevated railroads, the number
OF new edfices In course of erection exceeding
by 10 per cent those for any year since 1868
The merchandise traffic from New York
shows an increase Of at least 10 percent, and
this improvement Is steadily maintained.
ALI the railroads report fine outlook for the
year.
The New York Central declares that 'busi-
ness is simply splendid, and will be so
throughout the season.; the Erie that "the
general freight traffic is largely increased;
the Baltimore and Ohio that "a general i'm
provement is discernble In the value of
business for the West, the increase prob
ably amounting to from Is to 20 per
cent" The reports Of the steamship lines
make the same showing-a good and fair
increase OF legitimate business.
Such is the outlook In New York. It is
almost as good In other cities. The clearing
house reports for the past week show more
business In all Of our large cities. Among
the gains were 81 per cent for New York, 16
per cent for Boston, per cent for Philadel-
phla, 10 per cent for st. Louis, and 2O1 per
cent for Kansas City.
There seems to be no reason to doubt that
70 promises to be more prosperous year
than any since the panic. Whether. however,
1t Is the beginning Of that new era OF
prosperity that the newspapers have long
been promising us remains to be SEEN It
certainly looks as II 1t was.

changes Of temperature-rain, wind and sun
shine often intermingled in a single dsy-it is
no wonder that our children, friends and rela-
tives are SO frequently taken from us by neg
lected colds, half the deaths resulting directly
from this cause. A bottle of Boshee's German
Syrup kept about your home for immediate
use, will prevent serious sickness, a large doc
tors bill. and perhaps death, by the use of
three or -four doses. Far curing consumption.

SCARLET fever is sweeping off the juve-
nile population Of Cincinnati. One Of the
best physicians Of that city says: Il
would rather have smallpox in the house
than scarlet ever. 1t is a most insidious
disease. A child may be comparatively
well in the evening, and when placed in
bed by the advice Of a physician who may
anticipate an attack, but who sees no
reason to be especially alarmed at its
symptoms, it will wonder what all this is
for. The little one feels as we'll as usual,
but In the morning it may be dead. It's a
terrible disease, and gives more anxiety to
doctors and parents than aily other know
Of. There is q popularity about scarlet
fever that is not generally known to the
unprofessional. Its victims are not taken,
as q rule. from those who dwell in lily
ventilated houses and who live in squallor
and filth. 1t attacks people living in the
most elegant homes md who have been
delicately reared. 1t is no respecter OF
rank or worldly condition."
