HEALTH SUGGESTION.
State Board of Health Secretary Warns of Prevalence of Syphilis.


 In his monthly report for September Secretary JSH. Townsend of the state board of health makes the announce ment that the the laboratory of the state board of health is now prepared to make the Wasserman test for the diagnosis of syphilis. At first the test will probably be made not oftener than once in two weeks, but more ire duently if the specimens received de- mand it,
 The. use of the Wasserman reaction and it's notifications have shown the presence of active syphilis in many hitherto unsuspected cases, the clas- sicaI picture of the disease having been obscured by years of gradual syphilitic inoculation. Economically syphilis is not d serious disease in the primary and secondary stages, that is, persons with syphilis during the early stages are usually not i'll enough to cease work. 1t is the later manifestations the sequellae and the so-called parasYphilitic lesions, as well as the inherited consequences of the disease that cause great economic loss Syphilis lowers the standard of health and payes the way for other diseases. Nearly one-f fifth of all the insane in our asylums give the Wasserman re- action
 The health officer should regard syphilis as he does tn acute infectious diseases. Our attitude towards the Venereal diseases has been inconsistent and there has been a natural aversion towards these af1ictions The sani tartan should make no distinction be- tween the venereal diseases and other epidemic diseases. The immediate problem is the prevention of further spread of the infection.
