A Secret Disease

OF all human diseases, that known as

contracts it, but often the innocent are
made to, share the humiliation and dis
grace of this most 1oathsome and hateful
form of blood poison. Children inherit
it from parents, and thousands of the
purest men and women have been con-
talninated and ruined simply through
handling the clothing of one infected
