GIVEN WITH PICTURES

DIR. charles L. Silk, president of the

sided at the Public Health Lecture in
Pulaski hall, last night at 8 o'clock.
DR.. SILK explained to the hundred or
more men present the meaning of the
motion picture on Vencrcal diseases as
it appeared on the screen. DR.. Silk
is very much interested in improving
health conditions of Perth Amboy.
The picture pointed out that there
are no diseases as prevalent me 81
dangerous as the so-called venereal
diseases, namely, gonorrhea and
syphilis. These are found among all
classes of people and in all communi-
ties. Since they are dangerous and
may be contracted in~nocently, they
threaten the health OF every individual
and necessitate hat some definite ac-
ton be taken.
In order to bring these under con-
troll, the Perth Amboy Board of
Health has. estab lishcd a Clinic in the
First National Bank Building for the
treatment of these diseases, and they
are also cooperating with the State
Department of Health, giving a series
Of lectures illustrated by motion pic
lures, in order to inform the people
of the menace of venereal diseases and
how to prevent them.
