None of the men infected were ever told they had the disease, and none were treated with penicillin even after the antibiotic became proven for the treatment of syphilis.

I think it's great you spread information like that. But can't you write a bit more about it? I'm interested in your well-reflected opinion and this will contribute certainly too to Steemit as a plattform to share original, quality content. You would most certainly get more upvotes too if you did. Cheers
