WARNING:
-- Before the discovery of sulfur drugs and penicillin sexually transmitted diseases like gonorrhea were not curable only treatable. Cannabis among its other properties seemed to have been an effective treatment. The above bottle (different angles) was manufactured by the Chicago Pharmacal Company of Illinois---Note the over sized label, and please, please remember -- a treatment is not a cure. Do not use Cannabis in today's world as a treatment for Gonorrhea when you can obtain a cure.
