Extract
The sight of such an unfortunate child could not fail to produce the deepest compassion, and even indignation, when one records the fact that syphilis is a preventable disease, but when this induces Dr. Kenealy to tear up her prescription surely it is mere continentalism, and also a running away from the bounden duty of relieving the unhappy mother and yet unborn child, to save whom she was called in.
