VENEREAL CONTROL Dr. George Walker Tells of Army Treatment. ADVOCATES PROPHYLACTIC STATIONS ;i . One of the tylost Dangerous Scourges of Mankind . Js'AI lowed to Flourish . Because the public Insists oh Shut-;' :. ing. Its, Eyes to Facts. Without a single dissenting vote, the South Carolina'^Medical association, at its annual, meeting, in Columbia Tuesday, went on.'.record as indorsing the suggestion that public prophylactic sta tions be established in tbis state for the control of venereal diseases. : This action taken: by the association, considered generally as one of far icaching importance, came at the con^ elusion of an able aiid illuminating address by Dr. George Walker of Baltimore, whose subject was '"Abolition of Venereal Diseases." Dr. Walker, in his address, gave convincing figures to show the effectiveness of tlje prophylactic station in combating venereal disease In the arrri'y in France. The disease was prevalent to a surprising degree, heisaid, and efforts to hold it in check by/various means practically failed un.til the prophylactic stations were established. With the establishment of these stations, the. number of Infections dropped rapidly, the speaker . said. Dr. Walker supported all of his statements by giving figures and percentages as taken from the records. 'in- civil life, j.tfcie disease, too, is far more prevalent'than might be thought according to I$r:" Walker. Of a large number of patients examined in hospitals, who had come. to. be treated for other disease, i-l;Ver cent had venereal disease: 13 per cent of white inmates | in a jail were "suffering- from the same diseases and 27 per cent of the negro inmates of the foil were also victims of this disease;'68 per cent of a group of prostitutes ' examined had the disease, said Dr. Walker. He quoted Dr. Osier as having said that 30 per cent of all organic heart diseases were due to syphilis; from 30 per cent to 35 per cent of diseases of arteries were due to syphilis and'20 per qent of nervous dis^ . eases were "traceable t?, the same disease, he quoted. He ;said Dr. Osier placed '^philis as fourth on the linor* tality lists. Tells of Results. In giving some figures to show the effectiveness of the prophylactic treatment, Dr. Walker said in one locality, 9,873 soldiers hhd been treated with 19 ;<n*b/?Hnrt. In another camp | * V(ldC0 V4 illnvVM.... 126,000 men had* been, treated with 1.4 per tierit faUuraa In another group of 27,000 treatments by the prophylactic s tat ions,. thergj}fld_ beenelght failures to prevent infect inn." In another locality, 0.524 men had been treated, Willi five infections. In the army as a whole there had been 242,000 treatments with a failure of 1.3 per cent. "In the prophylactic station we have something in which we can talk in terms of abolishing venereal diseases," he said. "Shall^we get control of venereal diseases or shall we continue to let them have the upper hand?" he asked. "I would like to see established in all the larger cities of the state public prophylactic stations; run somewhat as the stations were operated during tlie war," he'saia. - "In the smaller towns, drug stores might carry for sale at a low price a package carrying the treatment as that given in the stations. There may objection." to this plan? some will say it interferes with public morals, he concluded. After the association had given a vote of thanks to Dr. Walker, expressions of opinion as to the practicability of establishing these public stations were called for. Doctors Give Opinions. Dr. E. W. Pressly of Greenville, formerly head of the hospital atOamp Sevier, in discussing the element of "fear of consequences" as a motive for continence among men said "fear of infection never restrained any man. Knowledge of possible consequences stops no man." - Continuing, he said, "There is no reasonable objection in law, ethics or morals to the establishment of such stations and their advantage will be incalculable, as has been demonstrated." Dr. Robert Wilson, Jr., of Charleston, said, "I am in accord with the suggestion that public stations be established and am willing for the house of delegates to go on record as indorsing the suggestions." Dr. .Tabes R. Young, of Anderson, omnn/U,ri the susnrestion to the effect | that the state board of health be instructed to put the suggestion into practice in so far as is possible. Dr. Patterson of Barnwell, said: "I believe we have the remedy. It is now merely a question as to the application "of that/remedy." Dr. Wyman of Columbia, held that the plan could be put into operation if the doctors would get squarely behind it. Major General John L.'Hines, commander of Camp Jackson, who was an interested listener to the discussion, was invited by President \V. P. Timmerman to address the association on the subject. General Hines said that Dr. Wulker had the solution of the problem and said that be nearuiy indorsed the establishment of the stations. Dr. Frank Darker also spoke briefly on the plan. At the conclusion of the discussion a rising vote on the suggestion was taken and the plan was indorsed unanimously. Dr. George Walker, whose speech on venereal diseases was at least in part responsible for the stand the medical association took 011 the prophylactic station plan, is. a native of Yorkville. . Uefore the war he had achieved prominence as a physician of Baltimore and during the war was a colonel 011 General' Pershing's" staff in charge of all venereal disease control work, in the A. E. R Ho Is generally regarded as an international authority on the control of venereal diseases. He has lived in Baltimore for years. 1 >i?i i r. a ?.i/? r: uc*h DC.
