Surgeon General gnpertBluefltzI.eada'; of the United States has declared war on the dis- eases of vice! Says Surgeon General Rupert Blue of the United States Public Health 8ervice: “The compulsory medical examina~ tlon of tbe millions of men sum- moned for war informed us fully as to the prevalence of venereal dis- eases throughout the country and opened the eyes of the nation to the AL sravity of the danger.” According to an imate made by the Surgeon General of the Army, no less than five-sixths of all the vene- real disease afflicting men in our military service had been brought in from civil life. As the facts became known, the fight for cleaning up the nation develeped arly in the war the work of pro- tecting our men In the military serv- ice from venereal diseases had been in the hands of the Councll of Na- tional Defense and the Commission on Training Camp Activities. Later Congress, by an amendment to the Wilitary Appropriations Blll, created within the Public’ Health Service a Division of Venereal Diseases and Assistant Surgeon General C. C. Plerce was placed in charge. First—Discover the Cause To discover the cause of any pre- wailing i1l is the instinct of the Sur- geon. When science found that the germs of Yellow Fever were carried by mosquitoes the battle against that disease was half won. When San Francisco was in the grip of the Bu- bonic Plague and to Surgeon General Rupert Blue fell the task of scotching that plague, his first step was to make war on the rodents that carried the disease germs. Once these were hunted down, after unremitting work and cere, the clearing away of the disease was only a question of medi- cal skill and patience, So, in leading the attack of the United States Pub- He Health Service azainst nereal disease, it was inevitable that Sur- geon General Blue should go directly to the cause. The problem the na- tion is called upon to face he states very simply The He sa “We know the e of these dis- +ases and we ktow that prostitution affords their tvincipal mode of dis- tribution. Weé &know, too. that so far as Injury to tas nation is concerned, \hese dizeases are not outranked by any other of the communicable dis ease group. We must, therefore, ap- ply these facts as we have applied aimilar facts in the cases of other communicabla diseases. We are try- ing now to form a great body of pub- lic opinion that realizing the import- ance of eradicating these diseases will ba \p our government efforts in enforeing four things: i. Measures for cleaning up each individual community and keeping the vice distrivts closed. 2. Measures for making direct attacks on Venerocal diseases Prostitution may be segregated but not venereal diseases. 3. Measures for the eradication of venereal diseases. 4. Measures to provide whole- msome recreation, “The organized defense American nation against venereal Qiseases requires the complete un- derstanding that all these measures imply and their whole-hearted adop- tion. The work can never succeed without sacrifice; there must be sac- rifice of sentiment, of time, of money and of scientific striving. Whatever the cost, America will come to see that it was well worth the price.” The Prevalence of Vice The success of ihed‘Gox&m::e,ntt's carppaisn must, according ssiste ant ’;\um General C. C. Plerce, have its base in a thorough education of the pyblic as to the menace of vice - A (N B3R5 DRGSR FXAORS El vi Public Must Know 19 t of the The the gen- | that is to be increased lization. most destructive and transmissible diseases” is educa-~ tional. riment Y" work reatly . period of occupation and demobi Military authorities are una HE RED sports is one hches der bre of ™A RALAHONS diseases. President Emeritus Charles William iot of Harvard, declares that the tal remedy for these diseases, “the of all contagious Says President Eliot: “In spite of the revelations made during the last ten years venereal diseases among the Ameircan peopls, the schools, col- leges, and churches of the coun- try have done practically nothing to direct the attention of pupils, students, and parents, to the need of defensive measures sagainst these worst of scourges, and to the elements of defense. So @anse is the popular ignorance on this subject that the voters can- not be expected to require thetr representatives to pass the need- ed legislation; and the legisla- tors themselves have been up to this time unwilling to do so, in spite of the urgency of the larger part of the medical profession and of most public health officials and heads of hospitals, dispensa- rles and penal institutions. : Knowledze, co-operative disci- pline and self-control are the ul- timate safegxuards. The war has taught us that to find and apply the remedy for these horrible evils is a great national Interest. It will remain a great national interest of the most Intense sort when the Great War at last ceases. FEvery successful effort which the National Government ma" s In this direction during the Wa} should be continued and de- veloped when peace at last comes, and the same is true of States and Municipalities. To promote these results is the duty of every educational f e in the country.” An Ever-Present Danger. From “The Survey” of March 16, we find “The recently published inves- tigations of the Baltimore Vice Commission showed that 63.7 per cent. of 289 prostitutes examined by the Wasserman test had syph- ilis. Of 266 examined for gonor- rhea 92.1 per cent. showed f{ts presence. Nearly half the girls examined had both diseases and only 8.39 had neither.” But it & not alone the professional 25, loosa woman that spreads these dis- eases, prostitu- Ac- though professional on {s their fountain source. companying this article there s a photograph taken hy one of the Sur- Zeons of the Public Health Service, showing a group of children from a Many he every a slon base- dia- 5,000 score cards and 1,088 books | of the ovem- | of | overseas | during NEW BRITAIM . nimous in their praize of the value of sports in the training of an army to do a big job and in keeping the rmy in trim after the big job is [ done.

War on Ignorance That the war agaihst the spread of these vice diseases needs the prelim- inary campaign of education is shown by the Government's experience in past medical and sanitary campalgns, i where it has been proved that a dan- | ger can and will be guarded against i once it is known. Tuberculosis, for | instance, thrived on jgnorance; once | its prevalence became known, public | effort united with medical science, and the White Plague was checked. The two forces must again unite for the war on the Red Plague. The first attack was made on tol- erated or semi-legalized vice. The success of this crusade is shown by the fact that already 110 cities have abolished their “Red Light" districts and many States and Municipalities are on their guard against the vice- seeking women who ply their trade on the atreets and elsewhere. With the co-operation of several of the States who have accepted their quota of the funds set aside by Con- gress for the purpose, free clinics and dispensaries have been estab- lished, with hospitals for those whose vice disease ig so infectious as to be a public menace, In order to bring these diseases out to the right light of day, laws and regulations are being adopted in the various States requiring physicians to report all such cases, just as other communicable diseases are reported. Widespread Campaign. A special campaign is being con- ducted against the quack doctors, the so-called speclalists in “men’s dls- ease.” Many reputable newpapers are refusing to accept their adver- tisements; {n many cities the police, proceeding against them for obtain- ing money under false pretences, have driven them out of business or put them in jail, Druggists throughout the United States have been invited to join the | 1 Government and are co-operating in | @this war by refusing to sell proprie- | tory remedies for these diseases ex- cept on the prescription of a physl- | cian, and they are asked, also, to 7e- ‘ port all cases that come to ¢heir | knowledge. The medical journals and physi- cians everywhere are enlisted in this fight for a clean nation; employers of industry are doing their par¢ by awakening their employees to the gravity of the danger: fraternal or- | ganizations and commercial bodies | have signified to Surgeon General Rupert Blue that they will be shoul- der to shoulder with him in the cam- palgn. The President of the United States has given his hearty endorsement to the measures that have been adopted: the Secretaries of the Treasury, of War and of the Navy are at one with him in the efforts to make clean the cities to which our milllons of returned soldiers shall come marching home.
