Venereal Diseases To Be Reported
State Board Of Health, Jackson, Mississippi

When, in the pre.war days the sub
ject of the social diseases was
preached from a public health stand
point, the reply all too frequently was
to the effect that the locality in ques
toni was exceptionally free from dis
eases of that nature. The existence OF
these diseases was not admitted, be-
cause the facts were not known.
The draft showed with unmistakable
figures however. the appalling preva-
ence of the venereal diseases through
out the United States When Missis-
sippi, in cooperation with the Public
Health Service, undertook a crusade
against these diseases, it was at once
obvious that a change in the medical
attitude was necessary.
These diseases are highly infectious,
or, as they say, they are ''catching."
We have never known how many cases
we have had in any community. be-
cause, up to the present time. their
existence has been kept a profession
al secret" by each individual doctor
II is impossible to fight any scourge
without a knowledge of its prevalence.
Obviously, the old idea of secret dis
eases" would have to be abolished. But
the State Board of Health had no in
tentioI OF disturbing the confidential
re1a ons between physician and pa

ual reader that the success of this part

and it is assumed that all physicians
who are not now reporting will soon

Tsefore the Board of Health under

real diseases have gone untrcated be
