our time. Such a victory, after
400 years of continuous battle,
can come about only through the
determined efforts of every men,
Der of society. 1t requires the
attitude which considers syphilis
a disease which must be treated
and cured.
1t compels a concept of living
as a cooperative endeavor based
on the highest moral plane, sup
ported by strong home and fam
lily units. 1t entails the outlaw
ing of promiscuity, not in a mere
legal sense, but in the intelligent
refusal Of individuals to risk ex-
posure.
If such conditions were offer
ed as a certain cure for tubercu-
losis, infantaile paralysis, scarlet
fever or diphtheria, there is little
doubt they would be met.
Why, then, should they not
be possible in the prevention and
cure of syphilis which far out
numbers all the diseases both in
number of reported infections
and number of deaths each year
even in Ohio.

the time between shots to "a hours.
Only one day need be given.
The six years in which Penicil-
Ian has been employed in the treat
ment of syphilis have proved it
to be very effective weapon
without the adverse effects or
long time treatments of the other
agents. 1t has proved effective
in a high percentage of cases and
even in cases in which there has
been an apparent recurrence Of
SYPHILIS, it has been doubtful that
the penicillin treatment failed.
Penicillin does not give immuni-
ty to future infection and there
has been the possibility that those
who have returned with syphilis
after being released as cured may
have contracted the disease in a
new exposure.
To sum up:
Syphilis today can be treated
and cured in great majority Of
cases-in two ways:
/. BY rapid treatment-a daily
shot of penicillin for week or
10 days. This method is very
effective in the cure of early sy-
philis, but does not give immu-
nifty to the disease. If it is con-
tracted again, it must be treat
ed again.
2. BY syringe injection of
forms of arsenic given in small
doses over a period of II to 1S
months. This is more tried
method and apparently gives a
good degree Of immunity to fu-
ture infection. However, it is a
long, drawn-out process and can
have serious complications.
Neither method can be given
by any except licensed physi-
clan.
Properly employed and admin
istered to all persons infected
with syphilis, they hold the prom

Syphilis Fight
Opens In State

This is part of n series of ar
ticles opening q two-month in
formation campaign on syphilis
throughout Ohio under sponsor
ship Of the Ohio Department of
Health.
The treatment and cure of
syphilis has been a foremost aim
of medicine for almost 400 years,
Early in the course Of the modern
onslaught of the disease, which
began 1870, mercury was used as
q combative agent, 1t was a dan
gerous medicine and its danger
was increased by the practices of
bleeding, purging and sweating
which were common to the times.
Not until the late 10Th Century
was mercury given in small
enough doses to be not overly
toxic and yet be effective as
Syphilic drug, BY then, it no long
er was standing alone. Bismuth
and potassium iodide joined mer-
curry in the fight against syphilis
and still are used by some practi-
TONERS in conjunction with later
developed weapons.
The use of arsenic began about
1863 and continued in a develop
ment stage until 1914 when the
final form Of arsenic treatment
began to evolve. 1t cured the di-
sease, but required ~ to Is
months Of treatment.
BY 1885, a rapid treatment
method employing arsenic was in
troduced which required only about
a week of treatment, but it was
accompanied by a high degree of
serious reaction.
In 1929, penicilin was acciden~
tally discovered by Sir Alexander
Fleming. 1t was just in time for
accelerated research for use on the
battlefelds of World War II. 1t
first was employed against Syphil-

were cured without toxic roper
cussions and with 'incredibl,

days.

spray the entire city. A fog is
used by this concern, which the
representatives said leaves no
stains and is guaranteed at least
q month.
1t was estimated that cost of
fog-spraying the entire city would
be $4,000. The agent stated that
perhaps it would be cheaper to
spray on the per unit basis, at
$1.50 for each house or business
place. The matter was taken un.
der consideration.

part of his restaurant eQuip- ment could be salvaged. He carried no insurance.
 The fire was one that Ko- diak fire fighters have always dreaded, a big blaze in a high wind. Clouds of sparks flew from the fire across the busi- ness district and some even reached the hospital.
 The Navy weather central reported the wind at the time |of the fire was a constant 25 knots with gusts reaching 57 knots.
 Kodiak volunteer fremen answered the alarm shortly after 3 am, and were joined by a fire truck from Ft, Greedy and one from the navy base about 4 am. Fire Marsh al T. w. McArthur accom- panied the base fremen to town.
 One town truck pumped from the water main, as did a navy truck, and the other town truck was driven into the bay and pumped salt water. The Ft. Greedy truck stood by while army firemen fought the blaze.
 Raymond said he believed the fire started when the stove in his apartment blew up. He had checked it at about 3 am, he said, and had gone back downstairs to eat. Shortly afterwards, Roy Snyder, Mec- ca Bar owner, came into the Doghouse to report the fire to Raymond.
 Meanwhile, Patrolman Jac- que Pardieu and Clarence Haas, manager of Wodlinger's Drugs, both of whom were checking wind damage to the drug store windows, noticed the fire and turned in the alarm.
 The fire was brought under control about 5 am. The Lyric building is owned by Ali Torgramson. The fire was mainly on the second floor of the building, in the front.
