made IN the open. There are some dis.
eases that are like pickpockets. They
are sneaks. Ii men only knew it, these
sneaklng diseases are more to be dreaded
tnan small pox or yellow fever. The
sneaklng disease begins with some slight
disorder of the digestion and sluggish ac-
ton of the bowels. The blood becomes
disordered and the body receives insuffi-
Gent or improper nutriment. Emacia-
ton follows and the sufferer is troubled
with nervous prostration, brain fag, end
debility, and very likely falls a victim to
that dread destroyer, consumption. All
this happens before the sufferer fairly
realizes that he is in danger.
These sneaking diseases that undermine
a mans constitution, and rob him of his
health are conquered by DR.. Pierce's
Golden Medical Discovery. 1t puts
strength into every fiber of the body and
replaces the lethargy of sickness with the
buoyancy of health. 1t is the best blood
maker and hesh-builder known to science.

The Progress., 1897-10-16

The Progress has been requested by
a goodly number of people to hold the
bicycle contest open for as long a period
possible so that others who desire
to may take part in it.
They say that many have been pre-
vented from taking an active part on
account, first, of the encampment, and
then of the yellow fever scare.
We have received generous encour-
agment from various sources assuring,
us Of the hearty cooperation OF the
people in the contest and saying that
many were anxious that their favorites
should ride and own the beautiful
Victor
And by the way, our people should
call at the office of the Louisiana Cycle
Company and see what q beauty this
lady in the parish, offered by The Pro-
gresS.
We want to see our country friends
take an interest in this. Should a
woodland beauty or a, pride of the hills
or pearl of the valleys of Caddo be the
one for whom the most votes were cast
The Progress would not be chagrined
because city beauty was not the for
tunate queen.

is over it will spring into interesting

into a high state of excitement
over telegram sent by DR.. A. R.
Booth, of our city, the marine
hospital surgeon, to Surgeon Cen
eral Wyman at Washington that
there were three well defined cases
of dengue fever at Shreveport.
We say that our city was thrown
into a high state of excitement,
but we should have said some Of
our citizens were. For when any
reasonable person will think for
just one minute he will see that
the Board of Health has been per-
fectly fair, open and candid with
our people from the first. That it
has concealed nothing, but has re-
vealed and given to the public
every rumor even Of danger. In
fact, if criticism is legitimate 1T
would better lie from the source
that the Board has been in too
close touch with the public; it has
let out too many reports. 1t has
been practically an open session,
and THE PROGRESS now assures
it's readers that they can rest safely
in the fact that the Board of Health
will promptly inform the public at
the first approach of danger.
In view of the excitement the
Board of Health made public the
following statement:
Board of Health, Shreveport,
October Flowing to the multi
plicity of reports current upon the
streets of this city, this Office feels
incumbent upon them to make the
following tx rse statement, which
it is hoped will give satisfaction.
First-The health of the city has
not been SO good as it now is for
many years, as shown by the
following mortuary report:

about the Goth OF last month to 60 to
Vanderbilt and was led by one of the
pasty who said he knew the road
which afterward proved different.
After leaving here they missed the
right road and did not strike Meadow

but found themselves south of the

with no water. At this point they
separated and the Fish brothers and
Mr.. Harrison started back, leaving
the fourth party alone.@1 He had been

Immediately Jake johnson and
