Syphilis was called…
The French disease by the English, Germans, and Italians
The Neapolitan disease by the French
The Hindu disease by the Muslims
The Muslim disease by the Hindus
The Christian disease by the Turks
The Polish disease by the Russians
The Spanish disease by the Dutch
The Chinese ulcer by the Japanese
What a lovely exercise in finger-pointing.
