During the next year that locality was visited by the awful scourge of yellow fever. Dr. Davis did not leave tie city, as did some of the physicians but shared with the citi zens their sufferings and sorrows, when daily so many of the host peo ple died and were hurried to the cent (tery. .lust before cold weather came and brought relief. Dr Davis, had yellow fever himself and was never well again. His devotion and efficient service greatly omh a'red him to the citizens of Shreveport. He was presented with a handsome medal and made city physician, in which ca pacity he served until forced by ill health to resign. Daring the epidemic of yellow fever in New Orleans and Memphis, he was asked as an expert in this disease to come to their assistance, which he promptly did. rendering faithful ser vice ami making many warm friends among those whom he so faithfully served in their time of need.
