Mann Library, Cornell University) "The Third Great Plague" by John H. Stokes is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work addresses the serious issue of syphilis, contextualizing it within the historical framework of infectious diseases and public health efforts. The book aims to enlighten readers on the realities of syphilis, challenging the stigma attached to it and emphasizing the importance of awareness and education in combating this pervasive disease. The opening of the book sets the tone for a comprehensive discussion about syphilis, tracing its introduction to Europe following Columbus's voyages and highlighting its devastating impact over the centuries. Stokes critiques the societal stigmas surrounding the disease, arguing that ignorance and misinformation have perpetuated its harmful effects. He stresses that understanding syphilis as a medical issue, rather than a moral failing, is crucial for effective public health strategies. This introductory section positions the author as an advocate for public enlightenment, laying the groundwork for a more detailed examination of the disease's nature, historical implications, and necessary treatment methods that follow in later chapters.
