Syphilis and gonorrhoea. If a man or woman has syphilis their baby may be born dead or diseased. But skilled treatment of the woman before or during pregnancy will almost always ensure a healthy baby. Untreated gonorrhoea may make parenthood impossible for those who are infected, or think they may be, advice and treatment are free and confidential at any VD clinic. Addresses of the nearest clinics:-...VD can be cured [device of hand in letters VD] if treated early but clean living is the real safeguard. Bears number: 4556

By Abram Games? Lacks his signature, but the form of the red letters VD is similar to his, and the work includes the device of the transparent hand reversed out of the red letters VD, which is one of Games's designs
