I got a dose dose you sure yeah got to find dose you better go over to the dispensary my Furlow starts tomorrow little you ought to go over there right away maybe it's nothing at all yeah maybe it's nothing got to got that fow H CP The Test shows gunara yeah I know can only happen to the other guy can never happen to you sit down but I could have sworn she was all right she was so young she looked so clean of course she looked clean that's how you get infected most of you men have sense enough to let the women who look like real tots alone but it's the clean kids that worriers that's our problem today keep you men from playing around with the so-called nice girl me honestly she didn't look like she could possibly have anything yes I know well I'll turn you over to Lieutenant Hy he'll put you under treatment but Captain I've got a Furlow coming up tomorrow I've waited 6 months for this the fur is out but you don't know what this means to me sir I know what it means to you I know very well what it means to you but you should have thought of that earlier what about those new drugs you hear about aren't they supposed to work fast not that fast most cases they're effective but it takes a while to determine whether you're really cured or not besides you may have picked up syphilis syphilis syphilis you've been exposed to one you may have been exposed to the other but I thought I mean I heard that syphus is only a bad case of Gonorrhea not by a long shot it's an entirely different disease the symptoms are different the consequences are different and the treatment is different when will I know if I've got it in a few weeks a few weeks why sir I'll lose my whole Furlow we'll do the best we can you see sir we've been alerted I wanted to see my family I may not see them again we'll do the best we can you report to Lieutenant Hy he'll take care of you you want to send me to the psychopathic Ward I ought to have my head examined now take it easy green got lots of company you've caught it in time and you're going to be all right that's one of the main things get the infection in time a lot of the men are afraid to report they try to treat themselves or maybe they go to some quack then they're really in trouble well report to Lieutenant Hy good luck thank you sir [Applause] here's a [Applause] do doing fine Mason it's all right thank you [Applause] sir okay Metta you can go report to Captain Stevens 11:00 [Applause] do I get out doc oh we better keep an eye on you a little longer Jensen okay green you mean I can go yes there's no sign of syphus report to Captain Stevens 11:00 yes sir well you all been burned now you're ready to leave the hospital but before you go there are a few things I want to say to you and because you were lucky you got off easy a lot of the other men are going to have to sweat it out but remember you're not always going to be lucky I don't want you leaving here thinking it's a cinch would you get a dose have a few treatments maybe stay in bed a while and that it's okay well you can't because soon sooner or later you're going to get an infection that may ruin your life and before you leave here I want you to see what happened to other men who thought they could get away with it you're going to see just how lucky you were what you could have gotten yourself into take a look at this [Applause] take a good look there's the fellow that put you in the hospital those Bean shaped objects that's gun a caucus The gunara Germ okay then now you know what it looks like the only way that jam can get into you is by actual contact almost always by sexual intercourse with the diseased woman aerial diseased germs need warmth and moisture to keep alive that's why they thrive in the sexual organs as you know from experience gar attacks the inside of the penis 3 to 7 days after exposure you had a sharp burning pain when you tried to urinate then you had the discharge but the immediate effects the painful urination the discharge are nothing compared to what happens if compli apption set in that's why it's absolutely necessary for you'd have the proper treatment at once immediately those Gunner a gemms just don't wait for your convenience they multiply with terrific rapidity and if you ever let them get a good start on you well it may be just too bad that's all now there's something else I want to explain to you I want to show you what can happen to you if you get an infection and neglect it or try to treat it yourself I take the pro take gland here if you don't catch that germ in time the chances are pretty certain that the infection will spread back into this gland and it will extend into these tubes that carry your sperm cells if it ever gets back in here you can raise plenty of hell for the rest of your life now that's one place can get into another place is the testicles if it ever hits you here you'll probably become sterile you can never have kids and that isn't all either the infection can spread into the joints and if it does it can [ __ ] you it'll [ __ ] you permanently with arthritis or goral rheumatism I remember a case that I took care of some some years ago and I assure you this is no bedtime story to frighten babies the fell got a dose he neglected it he tried to treat himself as a result he's a [ __ ] probably as long as he lives and that's the disease that you hear jokes about being no worse than a bad cold well the next time you hear some wise ignorant guy shooting off his mouth somebody says Ah you're no man unless you get a dose at least once well you can tell them off I said you men were lucky Sergeant bring me that dark field preparation I want to show you what else you could have picked up you've only seen the little brother the big brother too cus this is the cus germ a spet it's called a spet because it looks like a spiral it's one of the most deadly scourges in the world but it can be beaten we've got the cure for it but it's the old Story You've got to catch it in time you've got to destroy it before it digs in and begins to destroy you take a look [Applause] the spet is one of the most active of all germs once it gets into the bloodstream it may turn up almost anywhere it can strike any of the human organs your heart your spinal cord your brain why don't you be nice to me an see life's short we got to take what's good the most active of all germs can strike your spinal cord your brain like life's short an we got to take what's good sir may I ask a question you're right ahead well sir how do you when do you first know if you've got it you'll know the first sign is usually a saw on the penis this saw is called a Shanker one of our men thought he could treat it himself he went to a drugstore and got some medicine the saw disappeared he thought that's all there was to it but a few weeks later an eruption broke out the syphus jam was still in his body syphus May silently continue its attack on the body for years then suddenly make itself known by some tragic occurrence man I knew had syphilis years ago and ignored his doctor's advice about treatment hello there Tom well hello Ben excuse me Ben I got to catch my bus then one day while he was running for a bus syphus had damaged his heart robbed him of his life a man whose brain has been ravaged by syphus isn't a pretty sight the speech becomes slurred meaningless he loses his ability to think clearly he becomes insane Daffy and death usually results tell me how is your memory memory 100% memories 100% how are your spirits Spirits 100% are you happy night happy new year God bless you're night I wonder if you'd say this after me lovely Lily lemonon lovely Lily lemon 100% truly rural truly in America truly rural truly liquid electricity liquid electricity if syphilis gets into the spinal cord it's Prett tough it attacks the nerve senters you can become a lifelong invilet a paralytic I remember a veteran of the last war a bullet didn't [ __ ] him it was syphus I've told you that gunara can make you sterile so that you'll never have any kids a syphilis is different won't keep you from having kids but the kind you produce you'll never want to bring into the world they may be idiots or cripples they'll have three strikes against them before they even start if you go overseas the danger is even more serious because besides gunara and syphus there are a couple of other diseases worse than either of them there's no need to go into that now take my word for it they're lulus moreover the veneral diseases are likely to be more severe they'll hit you harder they'll be harder to cure and in a great many foreign countries the percentage of diseased women is much higher than here in the United States you were a lot of Chumps once now you're all over it don't be a sucker again remember avoid prostitutes avoid pickups avoid pushovers you do expose yourself get right over to the prophylaxis station or use a pro kit but don't put it off every minute's delay cuts down the effectiveness of the prophylaxis the longer you wait the deeper those germs dig in and the faster they spread don't do any guessing about yourself at the first sign of infection go and see your medical officer don't try to cut in on the doctor's territory it's his job to treat you that's what he's there for well I guess that's all you can go now coming sure scares the pants off you're hearing the dark tell you about those diseases yeah who certainly were a couple of Chumps and how this is one guy's going to stay away from flues from now on yeah you're not kidding well take it easy boy I'll be seeing you so long don't take any wooden nickels and hold on to those two bucks [Applause] that Sun's Warm sure good to be out again I don't have to be a sucker maybe I can get that Furlow soon I'll be able to see them all back home what's on your mind green thought I'd try again try what well you know I got a bad break on that Furlow thought maybe I
