  • A dramatized story about a town where illegal activities are allowed to thrive, some of the politicians are dishonest, and a doctor and couple of colleagues try to help townspeople see that public health measures, especially those that might control syphilis, are necessary. Two of the most influential men in town oppose clean-up and public health efforts until their young adult children contract syphilis. Spliced into the dramatic film are segments of other educational films, including animated segments, that describe the symptoms and risks of syphilis. A butcher named Tony is excited about the birth of his first child, but the child is born dead because of a maternal syphilis infection. Some portion of the film Know for Sure appears to be included.

      What a lot of propaganda! I mean, when the government overtakes parenting, the family unit disintegrates. Sex education in the schools was fine, but now it has led to ``gender education,'' which is fine maybe for a genuine hermaphrodite, but for the majority . . . leads to unnecessary confusion and injecting children with hormones and maybe overlooking other ways of accepting oneself the way one is.

    The AIDS of it's day. We conquered Syphilis and TB and vaccinated against other diseases. Alzheimer's was not common in the Forties-people did not live long. But-Syphilis was a major cause of early Dementia.

      There is nothing odd about a "pre-marital blood certificate". If a mother has Rh negative blood, and the father has Rh positive blood... there's a very good chance many of her children will die pre-birth. That's the purpose. They're still done, except Rhogam exists now, so it's much less complicated. But before Rhogam... they were essential.
