December 20, 1918.

To the Physicians of the Country:

There is danger of an alarming spread of venereal disease during the reconstruction period. Prior to demobilization, the tense morale of the fighting forces is bound to relax. When mustered out, the men will return to conditions in civilian life which have been responsible for venereal disease. Prompt measures must be taken to meet the situation.

Among the striking things disclosed by Army statistics is the value of proper methods of control as developed in the treatment of venereal cases in the Service. The same methods of control will prove equally effective when applied to venereal cases among civilians.

The United States Public Health Service, therefore, appeals to every member of the medical profession to co-operate in accordance with the enclosed bulletin. You are asked to give assurance of your support by signing and returning the post card. Subsequently, each physician enlisted in this movement will receive a copy of the revised “Manual of Treatment of Venereal Disease," prepared by the United States Public Health Service in accordance with the latest methods of treating venereal disease in the Army, and distributed in co-operation with the State Board of Health.

If you have not replied you should do so at once. Respectfully,

RUPERT BLUE, Surgeon General.
