The plague in Campos

General Oswaldo Cruz [Brazilian public health champion]: “Withdraw, you infamous woman! Get out of my sight, or else I will smash you!”
The Plague: “I will neither withdraw nor vanish! You are the foreigner in this city! Go take care of Rio de Janeiro and leave Campos to me.”
(The fight is blocked; but if the municipality of Campos does not carry out sanitation projects and the local public health authorities do not pursue the enemy daily… Hmm!!!)
(O Malho, Rio de Janeiro, 1906)
