Dear All
Being a well-brought-up lad from a sheltered background ;-), I am in
complete ignorance about the following matter and wish for your kind and
understanding guidance.
Can anyone advise me as to saints invoked for relief from venereal disease
before, say, 1700? (Fiacre and George are mentioned in modern, popular
lists.)
Thanks!
Graham
