«Bowen contributes important insight into the course of medical tourism in the United States, developments in medical understandings of the "venereal peril," transitions in the concept of syphilis as a moral or medical condition, recognition of the chronic and late-stage complications of the disease, and the experience of ethnic and gender discrimination among syphilis patients in a southern treatment center.
