Syphilis Leading

Heart troubles and blindness are

rhea; formerly gonorrhea caused a
great deal of blindness in the new
born, but this has been practically
eliminated by legal requirement OF
the use of silver nitrate solution ap-
piled to the eyes of every newborn
babe.
Tremendous handicaps to the con-
troll of gonorrhea have been the lab
oTatory inability to transfer 1t to an
imals for experimental purposes, the
lack of a reliable test to discover 1t,
and the slack of an effective treat
ment. Most modern methods are
designed to help the body rid itself
Of the gonococci by stimulating its
natural defenses. Local bactericides
are often effective. but these must be
applied by a physician. Unskilled
medication may succeed only in
washing the germs back to remoter
organs.
Probably the most striking as we'll
as the newest of all gonrrhea treat
ments is the artificial fever method,
In which an extremely high temper
ature Is induced in the patient. This
treatment, however, Is In such ex-
perimental stage that only the most
skilled technicians can be trusted to
apply It.
Medicine can practically elimi-
nate syphilis and do mucff2sto con-
troll gonorrhea If patients viii con-
suit physicians early, will follow ad-
vice faithfully until discharged as
cured. There Is no scientific reason
why the incidence of new infections
