The Venereal
Disease Menace
Thanks to the activity of the War
Department the menace of venereal
diseases is being more understood
’tan ever before. The policy of silence
a hich prevailed heretofore is respon
ible for the constant increase in these
diseases and the existing danger, to the
üblic health and efficiency.
That the Campaign for the preven
ion of venereal diseases should be
igorously presented may be gathered
rom the fact that of 200,000 men in
he army infected with venereal dis
ease, 170,000 brought the infection
with thefn from civil life. In other
words, of every six men venereally in
fected, five of them contracted the dis
ase before joining the colors.
Few of these men, comparatively,
knew the dangers or the effects of ve
nereal diseases; just as a small per
centage of the public realizes the ex
tent of these diseases. It is estimated
shat 80 per cent of all men have had
gonorrhoea at one time or other. This
disease is not cured as readily as most
people imagine. A good, reliable doc
tor is the only one that should be
trusted in the treatment of venereal
diseases and the advertising physician
: hould ‘never be consulted. Usually
he is a quack, depending on the fears
and the finances of the unsuspecting
patient.
Gonorrhoea has often led to serious
results, terminating in a painful form
of rheumatism, in chronic invalidism
and in serious surgical cases, some
times ending in death. It also fre
quently results in sterility and in blind
ness. Eighty per cent of all blindness
in new-born babes is directly trace
able to gonorrhoea. These children
doomed to go through a life of dark
ness are in most cases an economic
loss to the state because of their han
dicap.
- Venereal disease is infectious. That
is, it can be transmitted from one per
son to another. The chief method of
transmission is by means of the prosti
tute. Os these women actual figures
show that fully 85 per cent tiave gon
orrhoea, syphilis, or both. Venereal
diseases may also be contracted
through the use of common property,
such as the public towel, or the use
of another’s toothbrush, pipe, etc. But
the safest way to avoid venereal dis
ease is to avoid the use of common
property and most important, to keep
away from the prostitute. This ap
plies even to the prostitute who is
“frequently examined,” for this exam
ination is no guarantee, as the woman
may have become infected five minutes
after examination.
Syphilis, another form of venereal
disease, is more prevalent than is gen
erally known. About 20 per cent of
all prostitutes have it in an infectious
form. Syphilis is a treacherous dis
ease, in that when it appears cured,
it may be most harmful. The first and
second stages of syphilis are easily de
tected, and therefore attention is usu
ally given the disease at this time.
During the third stage, however, when
the lesions are healed, pain is gone,
and all outward appearance of the dis
ease is passed, the syphilitic is in
clined to neglect himself, by failing
to take the continuous treatment out
lined by a reputable physician. Here
is where the little spirochete, as the
germ is called, does its most work.
It will travel through the body, some
times attacking the heart, but more
frequently attacking the brain —and
often the victim will develop paresis
or “softening of the brain,” or locomo
tor ataxia, long years after he had
forgotten that he ever had syphilis,
and many years after he thought he
was entirely cured. Every case of pa
resis is due to syphilis; about 99 per
cent of locomotor ataxia is due to
syphilis; and every case of apoplexy
under forty is due to syphilis. This is
part of the toll. All the distress, all
the heart suffering, and all the misery
caused by venereal disease will never
be known.
Syphilis and gonorrhoea are both p
curable, but only after long treatment,
continued until discharged by a physi
cian of good standing.

The average young man receives no
accurate Information about sexual mat

Ignorant .associates, medical museums,
quack doctors, and through his own
experience. Sexual knowledge is not
usually obtained in the home or school.
The street, the gang, and low amuse

Tree Trunk Doesn’t Grow.
Tree trunks do not grow in length
jetween the tap root and the lowest
iranch. Also the tap root when cut off
it a special length always remains the
same length, for it is but the trunk or
tody below the soil. Both root and
tody may branch, or lengthen by new
eaders.
Youthful Saint.
St. Agnes was a Roman virgin, and
martyr, who at the age of 13 suffered
persecution and was beheaded under
Diocletian about the year 304. At
Rome there is an annual procession in
her honor, when a lamb, highly deco
rated, is led through the city. The
connection of her name with the Latin
tor lamb —agnus —probably has led to
the association of this animal with her
nemory.
