Green to the congregation 81 00:10:23.480 --> 00:10:27.660 She's going to talk about a sickness. Everybody should know about 82 00:10:27.660 --> 00:10:28.960 syphilis 83 00:10:28.960 --> 00:10:32.820 Some people call syphilis the part of a bad blood 84 00:10:33.740 --> 00:10:37.600 But whatever name you give it it's real bad 85 00:10:38.260 --> 00:10:40.260 You may be strong or puny 86 00:10:40.530 --> 00:10:47.930 Rich are poor, but when that syphilis germ gets into your blood you're gonna have a lot of trouble 87 00:10:49.150 --> 00:10:54.650 Syphilis is a very catching sickness you get it mostly by sexual intercourse 88 00:10:54.650 --> 00:10:58.210 By fooling around with someone who has syphilis already 89 00:10:59.330 --> 00:11:02.730 Babies can catch syphilis too before they're born 90 00:11:03.530 --> 00:11:05.310 See this poor little fellow 91 00:11:05.310 --> 00:11:12.290 His mother had syphilis while she was still carrying him and when a baby catches this was from its mother 92 00:11:12.290 --> 00:11:19.030 It will likely be born dead or worse than that all crippled up like the baby in the picture 93 00:11:19.890 --> 00:11:22.710 Some people get a warning sign when they catch syphilis 94 00:11:23.390 --> 00:11:25.950 Mostly it is a sore on that private 95 00:11:26.590 --> 00:11:29.290 Because that is where the germ gets into the body 96 00:11:29.890 --> 00:11:32.110 You've heard men call it a haircut a 97 00:11:32.930 --> 00:11:36.010 Woman might not see her sore if it's inside of her 98 00:11:37.130 --> 00:11:42.250 That first sign usually goes away after a while even without any treatment 99 00:11:42.250 --> 00:11:49.090 But syphilis doesn't give up this easy. Maybe two or three weeks later you get a second time 100 00:11:51.150 --> 00:11:55.670 Maybe a sore in the corners of the mouth like this 101 00:11:55.670 --> 00:11:59.650 Our patches of hair may fall out 102 00:11:59.650 --> 00:12:06.450 Some get sores on their face people think they are ringworms. I'll call them nickel and dime spots 103 00:12:08.590 --> 00:12:12.250 Sometimes it is a breaking out a spot on their hands and feet 104 00:12:13.370 --> 00:12:21.050 Lots of people get this kind of a warning and most all of these sores are as catching as can be 105 00:12:21.050 --> 00:12:25.930 That is how syphilis is spread from one person to another 106 00:12:25.930 --> 00:12:29.590 Now many people don't know that these are warnings of syphilis 107 00:12:29.650 --> 00:12:34.890 A lot of people who catch syphilis don't get any of these signs at all 108 00:12:34.890 --> 00:12:39.570 So they go for years not even knowing that they have syphilis 109 00:12:39.570 --> 00:12:41.330 They may feel alright 110 00:12:41.330 --> 00:12:47.690 But the germs are still eating away inside their bodies if they don't get the treatment 111 00:12:47.690 --> 00:12:55.890 Then years later they may get swellings in the joints like this woman. I'll go crazy or get hot trouble 112 00:12:55.890 --> 00:13:03.190 They get sores like this that never heal up just eat deeper and deeper 113 00:13:03.190 --> 00:13:06.530 You can keep this from happening to you 114 00:13:07.450 --> 00:13:11.710 Go to your health department or your doctor and get a blood test 115 00:13:11.710 --> 00:13:14.930 If your blood test shows that you have syphilis 116 00:13:15.870 --> 00:13:18.650 There's only one way of getting cured 117 00:13:20.230 --> 00:13:23.050 Salves and tonics won't help you 118 00:13:23.430 --> 00:13:29.470 Go to your health department or your doctor for treatment right away 119 00:13:29.470 --> 00:13:37.230 It takes only a few days to kill the syphilis germs and make you healthy again 120 00:14:07.310 --> 00:14:09.990 My name is Mrs. Jess. How do you do? 121 00:14:10.370 --> 00:14:14.710 I'm worried about my son. He has rash on his hands and his back 122 00:14:14.710 --> 00:14:16.870 Just like the picture you showed today 123 00:14:16.870 --> 00:14:20.710 Have you tried telling him to come to the health department? I see his doctor 124 00:14:20.710 --> 00:14:23.410 You know blood test is the only way of telling him to come to the doctor 125 00:14:23.410 --> 00:14:23.410 126 00:14:23.410 --> 00:14:23.410 127 00:14:23.410 --> 00:14:26.850 I'm telling him what his sickness really is. That's the trouble Mrs. Green 128 00:14:27.410 --> 00:14:32.850 I keep asking him. He won't listen to me. He's taking a tonic that his friends say would cure him 129 00:14:32.850 --> 00:14:38.710 Well you can be sure that those home remedies won't do him any good if it's syphilis he's got 130 00:14:39.210 --> 00:14:41.910 Here, I'll give you an appointment slip for him 131 00:14:43.770 --> 00:14:47.570 Then he'll know what day and hour to come to the health department for a blood test 132 00:14:47.570 --> 00:14:53.990 If your son has syphilis Mrs. Jackson and doesn't take the treatment, he's going to have a lot of trouble 133 00:14:57.590 --> 00:15:03.670 Thank you. I'll try to get my boy to come in for a blood test. Thank you 134 00:15:03.670 --> 00:15:08.690 The lecture gave Roy plenty to think about. That fellow has a breaking out like mine 135 00:15:08.690 --> 00:15:14.530 He went to the health department, but Jim can't see it. Calls it a lot of fancy talk 136 00:15:15.030 --> 00:15:18.430 He insisted he and Ruby took care of themselves when they had it 137 00:15:18.430 --> 00:15:22.830 But Roy just can't get the pictures of the lecture out of his mind 138 00:15:23.370 --> 00:15:27.670 Maybe Jim and Ruby claim they feel all right, but the health lady says 139 00:15:27.670 --> 00:15:31.770 You never know when that syphilis is going to come back and cripple you up 140 00:15:32.930 --> 00:15:37.750 I had a talk with the health people Roy. You were so bashful in talking yourself 141 00:15:37.750 --> 00:15:40.410 This is a slip they gave me to give you 142 00:15:46.730 --> 00:15:51.850 Man, you're in big trouble now. They have your name and they're going to take you off and feed you full of shots 143 00:15:51.850 --> 00:15:53.150 Which will make you sick as a dog 144 00:15:53.150 --> 00:15:57.590 You see here Jim, you have caused enough trouble with your who do few 145 00:15:58.130 --> 00:16:02.490 Did you hear the lecture? If you were so smart, take Ruby to the clinic 146 00:16:02.490 --> 00:16:07.470 And see if she and the baby is all right. Let Roy take care of his own business 147 00:16:08.510 --> 00:16:11.910 Let's go home son. I have a dinner to get on the table 148 00:16:35.330 --> 00:16:37.530 That's a bad looking rest, you know 149 00:16:37.530 --> 00:16:41.870 Oh, it'll soon be gone. Jim has picked me up with some special tonic he got 150 00:16:41.870 --> 00:16:45.070 If I were you, I'd get me a blood test 151 00:16:45.670 --> 00:16:50.590 How you know it ain't the pot? I feel all right. Why should I go messing around with doctors and treatment? 152 00:16:50.910 --> 00:16:54.870 I don't blame you Roy. They tell me to have knees out there that long 153 00:16:54.870 --> 00:17:00.690 Stick you up your back like you was a pig. Oh, you're crazy Willie. There's nothing to it 154 00:17:00.690 --> 00:17:06.270 Well, I took the treatment when I was in the army. I'd rather do that any day than to be crazy 155 00:17:06.270 --> 00:17:08.430 A blind will end up like old Ben 156 00:17:21.350 --> 00:17:23.710 That simple is nothing to fool around with 157 00:17:34.710 --> 00:17:36.430 Remember the lecture Roy 158 00:17:43.030 --> 00:17:45.810 You'll have to make up your own mind Roy 159 00:17:49.510 --> 00:17:51.490 Who you gonna believe?
