" Сифилис на хлопковых полях людей не косил...
Продвижение патентов на фармацевтические «панацеи» от дурных заболеваний шло рука об руку с агрессивными технологиями снятия поведенческих табу."

Граждане разоблачают изобретателей пенициллина, ага, ага
Феерические дебилы, однако, просто неописуемые.

"SYPHILIS AMONG INSANE NEGROES."

Hazen, in a very recent article shows that out of the total admissions
to Freedmen's Hospital, District of Columbia, for 11 years, there were
admitted 30,021 negroes and of that number 881 or 2.26 per cent. were
admitted for syphilis against 92 or 4.35 per cent. out of 2,160 whites during
the same period. While the negro seems to have the best showing here,
and also apparently an equal or slightly higher percentage in other figures
quoted by Hazen, I think it should be recognized that a higher average
of intelligence and knowledge exists in the negroes of Washington than
in those of other localities. Furthermore, a reference to the Census
Bureau's tabulated report shows that the negro death-rate from syphilis
in Washington, for the vears 1910, 11, 12 and 13, exceeded the white
deaths in actual numil-bers, practically twice as many negroes (or colored)
dying from syphilis in 1913.

...During 1910, 4,384 negroes were admitted to insane asylums.
and over 3,000 of this number were 20 to 54 years of age. Now, during
the same period 4,127 cases of general paralysis all colors, were admitted,
and of this number 216 or 4.9 per cent. were negroes as compared to 2,618
cases, or 6.6 per cent. in the whites, and the latter percentage is figured
from 39,629 native born whites.
I have personally made routine Wassermanns on all patients admitted
to the Georgia State Sanitarium from January 1 to November 15, this
year, and the following results further emphasize the prevalence of syphilis
in the negro. Eleven hundred and ninety-four patients were admitted
during this period: 420 white males with over 6 per cent. positive
Wassermanns; 351 white females with over 5 per cent. positive; 255
negro males with over 16 per cent. positive; and 218 negro females
with over 16 per cent. positive Wassermanns. Here is practically three
times as much syphilis in the negro as in the white and confirms the obser-
vations made by others. All Wassermanns here reported are clean-cut
positives showing complete inhibition of hemolysis. Weak or doubtful
ones are omitted.

Ну, есть лекарства там всякие, химикалии, но без
доктора сказать трудно.
