The house, a three-story brick, seemed to have that architectural disease which is a perpetual epidemic among the tenant-houses of the city, and which makes them look as if they had all been dipped in a strong solution of something that had taken the skin off.
For three interminable days the rain poured down uninterruptedly. The floodgates of heaven had opened and it seemed as though they would never close again. The all-pervading dampness and chill brought illness to the Campbell household of a kind not to be healed by medicine. Homesickness it was, and it spread rapidly like a contagious disease.
It is largely to the systematic introduction of facilities for gratuitous treatment that the enormous reduction in venereal disease in Sweden, Norway, and Bosnia is attributed.
Bodies politic die, but it is of disease, or violent death; they have no old age.
There is nothing so absurd, nothing so misleading as the verdict one so often hears: So-and-so has no organic disease, there is no reason why he should not live to extreme old age; sometimes the clause is added, sometimes not: Provided he has quiet, good food, good air, &c., &c., &c.; the verdict is repeated by ignorant people without the latter clause; or there is no possibility of the conditions of the latter clause being obtained; and this, the only essential part of the whole, is made of no effect.

"But," I said, as her eyes followed Jacques with a lingering look, "you have not answered me. Do you feel ill?" "Oh, sometimes, in my stomach. If I were in Paris I should have the honors of gastritis, the fashionable disease."
She sent her diseased women to Korea. She made prostitution ridiculously cheap; fifty sen; which is twenty-five cents in American money. "Why?" It is one of her ways of assimilation which means extermination and she has already shot venereal disease rates up to an alarming state in Korea. Her next step in frightfulness was to introduce opium.
