"Dr. w. H. Brumby, the health officer

there was an epidemic of dengue in
Brownsville. and since that date the
State Board of Health has kept a close
lookout on all trains from that portion
of Texas which come into Louisiana and
have kept passengers from there under
surveillance.
Nothing was given out to the public
because the matter was nothing more
or less than routine work for us. 1t is
not our idea or business to create false
alarms or to lay the foundation for SEN
satiOnal stories, hence we did not give
out anything regarding the matter.
