BOARD OF HEALTH
WARS ON DISEASE
False Shame and Prejudice Holding
Up Battle ON Plaques.

That syphilis. gonorrhea and chan
criod have long been called "vener-
cal" diseases. is considered by med
ical authorities one of the seriously
retarding factors in the fight against
them, according to the State Board
of Health. While they are, in many
instances, contracted through venery
or sexual intercourse-they may
be passed along on damp towels. pub
lie drinking cups or un-clean soda
fountain glasses. borrowed pipes,
and through physical contact other
than sexual intercourse. such as a
kiss.
Terming these diseases "venereal"
has gone hand in hand with the too
long prevalent belief that sufferer
from them was getting merely his
just punishment, that they are dis
eases contracted in some dark, evil
contact and that one should, there
fore. stay away from ones regular
physician and hide his shame" thru
dealing with back street quacks and
the purchase of fake nostrums.
The inclination Of many persons
to call them social" diseases, is also
for IL separates them
from a great group of other diseases
which are quite as easily contract
able.
