An account of the resource
This poster warns audiences about quack doctors, treatments, and advertisements. It is part of the "Keeping Fit" poster series.
"'Ads' in newspapers, booklets and tin signs are put out by 'quacks' to get money from ignorant boys and men. Patent medicines and quick cures for syphilis and gonorrhea generally do more harm than good. Don't let 'quack' companies scare you by their talk about 'pimples,' 'vital losses,' etc. They are after your money. Don't worry. Lead an active, healthy life and forget about sex matters."

Germs of Gonorrhea
Description
An account of the resource
This poster features an image of gonococci under a microscope. The text explains the effects of gonorrhea and emphasizes a cure is possible but difficult. The poster is part of the "Keeping Fit" poster series.
"Gonorrhea may cause stricture, bladder disease, rheumatism, heart disease, sterility and other diseases. If the germs of gonorrhea get into the body, they may remain in the deeper parts and, long after an apparent cure, cause a return of the disease. Gonorrhea can be cured if promptly and thoroughly treated, but its cure is often exceedingly difficult."
