Article 5.
Like the criminal fleeing from
justice, syphilis is a persistent
traveller. If the disease is not
treated promptly and efficiently,
it may be carried to all parts of
the body in the blood stream.
Modern medicines (arsenical call
ed “arsphenamme". and heavy
metals, mercury or bismuth) are
the physicians' weapons for check
ing this invasion.
The first sign (if syphilis—-that i
small sore, "chancre", may heal
even without medical treatment.
But the disease s not cured. The
germs are still in the body.
What are the :iext symptoms ?
A few W'eeks later unless the pat
ient has treatment there may be
a rash on the skin, sores in the
mouth and throat, swollen gands,
headache, fever.pa.n in the bones.
The hair and eyebrows may fall
out.
What is the "tertiary" or iate
stage? The disease may attack
the heart, blood vessels, brain,
nervous system, bones, eyes—in
fact—any part of the body. Pos
sibly many years later paralysis,
heart disease or insanity may re
suit.
It is to checkma'e the e malign
ant tricks of the "great imitator”
that physicians and health officers
urge prompt and adequate treat
ment. This, they assure, will pre
vent the development of many
serious later effects such as pare
sis and ocomotor ataxia. The
former, known also as general
paralysis of the insane, is respon
sible for from eight to ten per
cent of the admissions to our na
tion's institutions for the mental
ly afflicted. The latter, as its
name implies, attacks the organs
of locomotion ar.d causes partial
or complete loss of use of the
limbs.
Fortunately, with the tests and
medicines that science has dis
covered, the well-trained doctor
of today is able to save his pat
ients from these more serious
consequences. Particularly is this
true when the patient seeks aid
early. And even in the later
stages, wonderful progress has
been made toward holding the
damage to a minimum and pre
venting further advances of the
disease.
Heart disease is another favor
ite disguise of syphilis. Physic
ians estimate that from 8 to 12
per cent of all heart disease is
due to this malady.
Blindness, too, may result from
the ravages of the marauding

More Notes on The
Council Meeting
Last Night
Under the head of communica
tions read at last night’s Coun
eiK meeting, a letter was present
ed for consideration, from the
Fair Manager Calvin Poo], re
questing that the new Fire Truck
be allowed to lead the big par
ade to take place on the opening
1 y of the Fair. Aug. 19th. The
council voted to grant the re
quest—and so Nome’s brand new
fir fighting equipment will be a.
t!ie head of the most unique and
colorful parade to be pulled off
in Nome in many years.
The committee to settle the
claim of A. Polet to three feet of
property on Front Street, was
directed to contact Mr. Polet ag
ain and endeavor to work out a
suitable agreement. The commit
tee which conferred with Ernest
Balsiger regarding his claim to
property affected by the reor
ganization of lots and blocks in
the burned area, reported he re
quested a cash settlement appro
ximating $784 for the land in
question which he claims was
not deeded over to the city and
which is absorbed by the federal
site, in addition to some other
parts located on Stedman Ave.
The committee was directed to
•ry and arrive at a more suitable
agreement with Mr. Balsiger.
Councilman O’Connor again
brought up the question of wheth
er the Lomen Commercial Co.
was a public utility and subject
to laws governing them, waxing
indignant and wrathy to the ex
tent of being called to order by
the mayor. After heated discus
siort the mayor appointed a com
mittee consisting of councilmen
spirochaete. In a recent broad
cast over WNYC, New York city’s
great municipally owned station,
the following graphic warning
was given by authorities in the
field of sight conservation: “Pro
bably the most serious of all in
fectious diseases which may re
sult in blindness is syphilis. This
disease can affect the eyes in
ways to numerous to be described
here, except to say that every
one of them is serious. Unlike
any of the other infectious dis
eases, it can even be passed on to
a baby before it is born, so that
the child may come into the
world with seriously defective or
blind eyes. Or the child may ap
parently be healthy but carry in
its system the germs which will
attack its eyes several years lat
er.”
Doctors possess many volumes
devoted to descriptions of the
various guises under which syph
ilis operates. But such detailed
observations are not essential to
the layman. If he knows the
major facts regarding the physi
cal, social and economic loss due
to the disease, he will promptly
join the hosts of those who are
waging the fight for its elimina
tion.
Prudery, ignorance, taboo and
fear—the malignant Four Horse
men which so long have served
as a bodyguard for syphilis—are (
on the retreat.
Science and administration work !
ing together can banish this great j
plague from the United States.
Future years should see the army
of afflicted, now “filling our hos
pitals, prisons and other institu
tions”, reduced to a mere corpor
al’s guard. And an informed co
operation public can be a major
factor in attaining this most de
sirable goal.
Taggart and Bassett, and himself,
to gain whatever definite infor
mation was possible regarding the
status of htis concern.
Judges and clerks for the spec
ial election to take place Sat
urday were appointed by the
council at last night’s meeting,
and include Jack Starr, Henry
Hannon, Mrs. Chapman, Jack
White and Dave Gray.
The subject of dumping of de
bris and garbage on the beach in
the rear of buildings and business
es on the south side of Front St.
elicited serious discussion last
night at the city council meeting.
Chief Laws reported numerous
complaints of debris littering up
the beach and presenting an un
san.tarv and deplorable condi
tion. He was directed Jo inform
ail affected parties to keep their
property cleaned and to do every
thing possible to promote clean
liness and sanitation.
The offer of the Lomen Com
mercial Co. of $25 for a lot near
Dry Creek at the west end of
town was rejected last night by
the council a motion for acceptan
ce failed of receiving four affirm
ative votes. Three members were
in favor of accepting and the four
th was against it—Councilmen
Rode and Cavey being absent.*
The Delinquent Tax roll of real
and personal property for the
year 1936 was read and accepted
by the council, which ordered it
to be immediately advertised in
accordance with law, and sold for
unpaid taxes in cases where tax- .
es, penalty, interest and costs are
not paid before public sale tak
es place.
