THE CRIMINAL DOCTOR.
Even science has prostituted itself to aid the Vice Trust collect its tithes from the lost women.
In the South side “redlight” district about ten physicians who are graduated from good schools have sold themselves to the lords of vice, crime and sin.
These men are employed to examine the women inmates of the houses to see if they are suffering from diseases of a venereal nature that might sow the seed of death in thousands of men.
This practice is also carried on in the other “redlight” districts.
It is the biggest farce in the whole system. It is a criminal perversion of science.
It has to the resort keeper an advertising value. The word is sent forth that his girls are “healthy,” or the man who accompanies her to her room, sees stuck in a prominent place a certificate signed by a physician declaring he has examined her and found her free from venereal afflictions.
It is a terrible and criminal deception.
Those physicians are supposed to give each girl a personal, clinical examination each week.
