Did syphilis have a known cure?
Syphilis is a sexually transmitted infection caused by the spirochete bacterium Treponema pallidum subspecies pallidum. The primary route of transmission is through sexual contact; it may also be transmitted from mother to fetus during pregnancy or at birth, resulting in congenital syphilis. The signs and symptoms of syphilis vary depending in which of the four stages it presents (primary, secondary, latent, and tertiary). The primary stage classically presents with a single chancre (a firm, painless, non-itchy skin ulceration), secondary syphilis with a diffuse rash which frequently involves the palms of the hands and soles of the feet, latent syphilis with little to no symptoms, and tertiary syphilis with gummas, neurological, or cardiac symptoms. It has, however, been known as "the great imitator" due to its frequent atypical presentations. Diagnosis is usually via blood tests; however, the bacteria can also be visualized under a microscope. Syphilis can be effectively treated with antibiotics, specifically the preferred intramuscular penicillin G (given intravenously for neurosyphilis), or else ceftriaxone, and in those who have a severe pencillin allergy, oral doxycycline or azithromycin.(Information taken from wikipedia)

Benzylpenicillin potassium (also known as penicillin G benzathine and usually sold under the brand Name Bicillin LA) is used to treat syphilis in all of its stages. Dosage varies by stage with Late Latent (when duration is greater than 12 months), Tertiary and Unknown Duration receiving three doses (usually each does is given in two shots), each one week apart. When the amount of time that the patient has been infected is not known it is assumed to be more than 12 months. Primary, Secondary and Early Latent syphilis are treated with a single dose. Bicillin LA, not Bicillin C-R, is used to treat syphilis. Treatment with Bicillin C-R is not considered adequate therapy and the patient should be retreated with Bicillin LA in the appropriate dosage. == Many bacterial infections such as : Cellulitis Bacterial endocarditis Gonorrhea Meningitis aspiration pneumonia, lung abscess Community-acquired pneumonia Syphilis Septicemia in children
