Cowan told members of the Bismarck Kiwanis club Tuesday noon, Dr. Cowan, head of the department of communicable diseases of the state health department, addressed the club on venereal disease control. Prevalence of venereal diseases 1s appalling, Dr. Cowan told the -Ki- wanians in explaining how his de- partment is endeavoring to control them. Throughout the nation 518,- 000 new cases of syphilis and 1,037,000 new cases of gonorrhea are reported each year, .A recent survey conducted in 15 representative clinics showed that one out of every 12 expectant mothers examined at that particular time was infected with syphilis. Says Incomplete National figures indicate that North Dakota’s figures are incompete. Many cases are not reported, Dr. Cowan said, because the infected individual does not seek aid from a physician, because the physician fails to report the case and also because 40 per cent of the persons who have syphilis do not know it immediately. Distribution of drugs and medicines for the treatment of these diseases as well as educational information to equip citizens to avoid them and ex- tensive use of the Wasserman test to whether or not an indi- vidual is infected with syphilis are goals of the state health department. ‘Venereal diseases must be regarded as communicable diseases, not simply as diseases developing in punishment of sin, Dr. Cowan said, pointing out thet 2 great percentage of the spread is- caused: innocently. ‘ ¢ Would Test, All Mothers Dr. Cowan recommends giving the ‘Wasserman test to. every expectant mother to cut dowh, the bi of syphilitic “babies. .
