    Hello! I collect most anything that mentions syphilis or venereal diseases (covers, PCs, advertising material, etc. etc). Many of the pertinent items I find on delcampe do not mention "syphilis" in the search terms. If anyone has anything, please let me know. Thanks so much!

    Are you aware of "Dear Doctor postcards"? tho I doubt they advertised a cure for the "unmentionable" disease there! But might be worth a search on the web. Spose the other possible sources have occurred to you, like slogan postmarks especially on soldiers mail of the 2 wars, the powers that be did worry about their men!
