SOCIAL HYGIENE
 DAY DESIGNATED
Observance Tomorrow Importance of Routine
 Blood Tess Stressed

With national Social Hygiene Day coming this Wednesday, the State Department of Health in its weekly bulletin today emphasized the inn portance of the routine blood test for syphilis both before marriage and early in pregnancy in order that the disease and it's devastating effects may not be passed on either to the marital partner or the children.
 One of the tragic results of Syph- ilis, it said, is that it can be passed on to offspring and result in many forms of crippling, both physical and mental, Lut when a child is thus infected it means that the mother must have been infected and re- ceived inadequate or no treatment at all for the diseasH. Infection of the child before birth results in stillbirth and miscarriage, some au- thoritieS stating that more than 90 percent of these conditions are due to syphilis.
 Congenital syphilis is likely to result in death Cf the child in the first few weeks of life. The child, if he lives, may develop defective eyesight when he is ten or l5 years of age or older Other conditions may result, such as defective hear ing, bone deform.ties, as well as destruction of brain tissue result ing in grave mental disorders.
 Down through the centuries the crippling and killing effects of this scourge went unchecked because there were no adequate diagnostic and treatment facilities, but today, the department pointed out. we have at our disposal very reliable blood tests to aid in the nationwide battle to control it. And two instances where discovery of the disease is of extreme importance are before mar riage and early in pregnancy, since in this way transfer of syphilis to offspring can be prevented.
 Most all prenatal clinics now make routine blood tests to detect possible syphilis Expectant mothers can be treated with no i'll effects and usually can be assured of having a healthy child free from congenital syphilis. By making the blood test before marriage and early in preg- roncy and by the application of proper treatment, the department declared, congeniaal syphilis can be made a rare disease.
