Germs of gonorrhea and syphilis

A man who would lead a girl into sex relations may be infected with gonorrhea (clap) or syphilis (pox). Gonorrhea and syphilis are germ diseases which are communicable (contagious). The germs of either disease may be passed from a diseased person to another person through sexual intercourse; occasionally the germs of syphilis are acquired by using publc towels or drinking cups, or by kissing.
