Warning Against Syphilis
Issued By Health Officer
By DR. P. G. PADGETT
Aitant District Health Officer
The American Social Hygiene as
sociation has designated Wednes
day, February 1, aa "National So
cial Hygiene Day." Each year a day
is set aside for the purpose of in
forming the population concerning
the venereal diseases. 'This slogan
this year is "Guard-Against Syph
ilis." Dr. Thomas Paran, surgeon gen
eral of the United States public
health service, has called syphilis
The No. 1 Killer," because he be
lieves that taking all things into
cpnsideration it causes mote deaths
than any other disease with which
the United States has to contend.
A large per cent of blindness and
deafness is due to this disease.
Each year there is an estimated
60,000 babies bom with syphilis in
the United States. It is also esti
mated that about one million new
cases appear in our -country each
year. Approximately 10 out of
every 100 people in the United
States have syphilis. Although
syphilis is not a disease confined
to any class or group, prostitutes
have the largest percentage of
cases. Some time, sooner or later
during, the life of a prostitute,
there is almost a 100 per cent
chasce that she will .become in
fected with syphilis. On the other
hand we must not lose sight of the
fact that, approximately half of all
cases are innocently contracted.
Syphilis respects neither color, race,
religion, sex or social position. All
human beings are susceptible.
Thousands upon thousands of cases
of syphilis go unnotiiced and probably
would never be picked up except
by routine blood testing. The blood
test is the surest way of determin
ing whether or not you are infect
ed with this disease.
If discovered early in the stage
of the disease, syphilis can be cur
ed in about 85 or 90 per cent of
the cases. If allowed to run undiag
nosed or untreated for several
years, the chance of ultimate cure
has been reduced almost 50 per
cent, so one sees how important
it is to discover the case early m
its progress before it has gained a
firm hold on the body.
Medical science has discovered
the cause of syphilis, knows 'how
to diagnose and has. an effective
treatment to cure it. With this in
formation, it is sheer neglect if the
disease is allowed to go undiscov
ered and unchecked.
Syphilis is the cause of 50 per
cent of all miscarriages. A mother
with syphilis will probably not de
liver more than one out of six of
her babies alive, asd about nine
out of 10 of all babies born to
syphilitic mothers wjll develop
signs of congenital syphilis. If
syphilis is discovered in a pregnant
mother and this mother receives
as much as five months continuous
treatment before her baby is born,
the child has about 80 per cent or
Rabun to Georgia, returning by
way of Franklin.
Mrs. F. B. Cook has returned
from Spartanburg, 5. C. Mr. Cook
has been confined to his home for
the past several days with a cold.
Mrs. W. R. Potts, Miss Peggy
Potts, Mrs. Metoa N. Hall and Miss
Caroline Hall spent Friday in

ter, Collin, have gone to Atlanta to

Rev. and Mrs. J. G. Benfield were
called to Lenoir last week because
of the continued serious illness of
Mrs. Benfield's father. Mr. Ben
field came home for the week-end,
and held his regular church ser
vices on Sunday, returning to Le
noir again Monday of this week.
Mrs. A. W. Pierson is substitute
teacher this week for the seventh
grade, while the regular, teacher,
Mrs. J. E. Brown, is recovering
from an attack of influenza.
The Lions Club held their semi
monthly meeting Monday night at
Hotel Edwards. Ladies' night was
observed and a pleasast social eve
ning enjoyed.
Mr. and Mrs. 'J. M. Hall spent
the past week-end in Hartwell, Ga.,
with Mrs. Hall's parents.
Help stamp out this scourage that
brings only illness, death and worry
to our; midst. Have your blood
tested routinely. One can never be
sure he or she is free from syph
ilis because one feels fine and sees
no sign of illness from syphilis. The
blood , test is . the best way to be
sure. Blood tests are free, and by
having a blood test you may save
your life or the life of a loved one:
