From Our Exchanges

If you knew of an incendiary in
your town who was only waiting for
the fall of night and the cloak of dars
ness to apply the torch to destroy your
best friends home while he was sleep
ing, would you not have this outlaw,
this fiend, at once arrested, orsto say
the least would you not warn your
friend? What have you done about
the venereally infected in your town
Have you given warning to the beauti-
full, virtuous and innocent girls who
may soon be led to the alter by a
young man who has been infected
with venereal disease? Have you done
your duty? Serious questions, we ad-
NIT but the conscientious father or
physician should be able to answer
them. What a responsibility rests
upon the shoulders of the physician!
The countless operations upon inno-
cent girls cry out to you!-Exchange.
