, There is an excellent reason why
! it would be useless for young
woman to demand health certifi-
i cate from her fance. Health GER
( tificates signify nothing as to char
acter, and marriage should be based
on character and not on health. A
man may he guilty of misconduct
frequently, yet escape disease
Through knowledge of prophylaxis.
! A woman may think she is marry
! ing a man of morals and be hitch
ing herself with an erudite rake.
AS to the double standard, your
fellow physicians in the army and
navy and elsewhere ignore the law
of God and teach their clientele
how to avoid the untoward results
of immortality.
You should denounce this prac-
tice. You should warn women
against putting any faith in health
certificate. You should oppose this
so-cailed science of engenics which
glorifies health and seeks to over
throw justice and morality.
Now there is good man gone
wrong Perhaps an ascetic. At any
dLe ali UNI CdSOHdUIS DDdU we
don't know about the so-caIled sci
ence Of eugenics. We think it is
about two-thirds bouillon-stimu-
lating, rich in favor but no meat,
no real nutriment there at all.
However, that has nothing to do
with the health of the bride, and the
brides health is our business.
The critic is wrong in his idea
that a health certificate is useless
We should never permit a daughter
to marry without very satisfactory
evidence that the prospective bride
groom had no transmissible disease.
That is parents absolute duty.
OF course the certificate is no
certificate of character. But never
theless a marriage must be based
on health as well as on character,
if it is to be a happy marriage.
Charac ter alone is no assurance of
the bridegroom health either; he
may have syphilis and yet be man
of irreproachable character. Mil
lions of innocent persons have the
so-called veneral disease, thanks to
our blind ignorance of all sanitary
control.
The army and navy could not do
better than precisely what they ares
doing. Prior to the adoption of the
present system of prophylaxis there
was no great standard of morality
in either branch which is not i'm
proved today. And the critic is de
plorablN misinformed if he thinks
the officers of either the army or
navy ever in any way encourage i'm
morality; on the contrary they do
all they can to discourage it. The
only reaching of their clientele"
practiced in the army or navy is
this: A man who has been exposed
to possible infection and fails to
report the fact Immediately to the
proper officer, lays himself open to
punishment in the event that any
disease should develop. This. is in
finitely better than the older system
of treating the disease after it had
developed.
We agree with the critics plea
for the single standard of morals.
No sane physician acquiesces in
the vicious principle that a young
man cannot maintain the highezt
degree of physical and mental
health yet live a clean life.
