peculiar poison In the system conveyed by
Infection. whether the poison saturates the
whole system first, and afterwards breaks on,
into sores. or whether the sores are first,
which psisons the system are questions which
have been much discussed by the medical
fraternity, but without any common agree
ment. The conclusions which my reading and
experience have led me to are that 1t is an
animal poison, not microbe, which first af-
fects emily the part receiving the poison, and
afterwards the sore (chancre) contamining
the whole system. ,r,..,i f. ,get r,.
llfa - fiuHai4l8 SYMPTOMS. ugie eefsr
A few days after an exposure one or more
small, innocent-looking blisters of water
pimples make their appearance, which dis
appear of their own accord. For short
time after the disappearance of the blisters
no symptom of any sort is noticed, and the
patient quite commonly thinks all is over.
After All interval, which varies in different
cases, the glands i'm one or both groins be-
come enlarged and painful. These may
break and become running sores (bubos.)
After these disappear respite from all
symptoms is had again, which once more en-
csurages the patient to believe that it is end
ed. The next thing to be looked for in the
course of this dreadful disease is the appear
ance of rash on the skin, congestion of the
pharnyx, hoarseness and liberation of the
tonsils There is in some cases another in
teryai of entire cessation of the disease after
the above symptom subsidies, to be again fol-
lowed by papular eruption of the skin and
mucous membranes, and occasional falling

All these pass by sooner or later, and a
long time of comparative freedom is now en-
joyed by the patient. But the end is not yet.
Small gummy tumors make their appearance
in the substance of the tongue, bones, skin
and other organs of the body. A general
vitiated, deteriorated condition of the whole
body Is apt to follow, from which the patient
never RECEIVERS unless properly treated.
This most dreadful disease is very easily
transmitted from one person to another.
Hundreds of cases occur as the result of the
most ordinary usages of society. The habit
of putting pencils to the lips that have been
used by others in the same way ought to be
avoided. Drinking from the same drinking
cup or glass, using the towel, napkin or
knife that is used by others, each has been
the means of spreading this awful disease
among innocent people. The habit of in
discriminate kissing cannot be too strongly
as it is fruitful source of infec-
tion. A pipe, spoon, pen-knife, dental in
struments, surgical instruments of many
kinds, each has been the means of convey
ing this poison. Anything that comes in
contact with mucous surface which has
had previous use by another person is liable. |
The milk, saliva, tears and perspiraton of
an affected person has been proven to be |
capable of causing the disease in another.
TREATMENT.
The external QocaD treatment which is
an important part of the management of |
any case will not be discussed in this article,
but the reader is referred to the pamphlet
Ills of Life" or the medical work, ''The
Confidential Physician" where the subject
is fully explained. @
But as to the internal (constitutionaD
treatment, which is the only hope of perma-
nent cure, l desire to show that there Is an
absolute specifce in reach of all which, If |
takoH according to directions, will cure
every case. refer to the compound known |
as La-cu-pia. 1t is usually stated in works |
on the subject that 1t takes from two to five
years continuous treatment to eradicate this |
poison from the system, but great many
cases are permanently cured by the use of |
La-cu-pia in years. time Tor less even),

In the vast number of cases that come
directly or Indirectly under my observation
many are cut short in their career by the
use Of La-cu-pia For instance, IL La-cu-
pia, with proper local treatment, is begun
As soon as the first lesion appears, the dis
ease is often entirely sradicated in the first
year of its duration, and many of the other |
wise tedious history Of symptoms prevented.
Old cases that have been allowed to run
unchecked for . number of years find in
Ls-cu-pi-a an unfailing remedy. 1t is the
most perfect raedical compound ever yet
devised for the treatment of this terrible
disease, for it is equally applicable to it in
all its stages and after effects (Sequelae), as
well as the different ages and conditions Of
life which the patient may happen to pre-
sent. 1t is wonderful, the number of cures
this admirable compound makes every year,
saving multitude from lives of wretched
misery.
