Without cease (in Pará)

(The American consul congratulates Brazilians on their progress in the campaign against yellow fever in the northern state of Pará. I think the title puns on the sense of “stopping.”)
O Malho‘s homage to the illustrious governor of Pará, Dr. João Coelho, and to Dr. Oswaldo Cruz, for the meritorious public health work of Pará state, the beginning of a new era of growth for this region, until now so neglected by the powers of the Republic.
(O Malho, Rio de Janeiro, 1911)
