the foremost battles on Americas

flict just ending has bee a quietly
waged war against the venereal
diseases.
In the history of all past wars,
there has been a decided increase
in the incidence of venereal dis
eases, particularly of syphilis. How
ever, during the past few years the
United States has been one of the
few countries where we have held
our own in this battle In Missis-
sippi, there is evidence which leads
us to believe that we have gone
even further. Not only has the in
cidence been held at a pre-war
level but we believe it has actually
been forced below that of pre-war
years.
How has this been accomplished?
The state board of health, in CO.
operation with the u. S. Public
Health Service, recognized early
that it would take action to hold
the line. Therefore, in Mississippi.
a staff of full-time venereal disease
Investigators was employed to To-
cate those persons who were most
likely to be infected Three rapid
treatment centers were opened
where patients who had a venereal
disease could be hospitalized and
given the quickest and the best
known medical care-one at Brook
haven, one at Meridian, and one at
| Greenwood.
These treatment centers are staff
ed by doctors who were specialists
IN the diagnosis and treatment of
Venereal diseases. Penicillin, which
| doctors believe is the most potent
medicine yet discovered for treat
ment of syphilis and gnoorrhea, is
being used in the treatment CEN
