Sex problems of man in health and disease

by Moses Scholtz

Question 15.—How long does it take to cure Syphilis?

Answer.—No case should be declared cured before at least one year has elapsed, even tho no active lesions are noticeable. Most cases take between two and three years to render their blood free from syphilitic poison.

Question 16.—When can a syphilitic marry?

Answer.—Not before repeated blood tests have shown a persistent freedom from Syphilitic poison, which, as pointed out in previous questions, takes from two to three years.
