Malady of the month

Malady of the Month features photos and a layman's explanation of a different disease each month. Syphilis, aka "The Pox", has long fascinated me. A friend called up a few months ago, saying, "I found a book and immediately thought of you." I swung by to check it out, and it was a 1950s US government publication entitled "Syphilis"; I already had a copy.
