The terms syphilis and gonorrhea have at last been brought before the public. The taboo placed upon the discussions of the genito-infectious diseases is undoubtedly due to the fact that, in the majority of cases the method of transmission of these diseases is through sexual intercourse, and by discussion of any topic concerning sex, even though this performance is in itself fundamental to the propagation of the human race, has been ostracized by the all-important public opinion for so long a time. These problems of venereal disease control have been switched from a societal hygiene problem to a public health program. With the information concerning gonorrhea and syphilis which we now have at hand, and the public attitude towards gonorrhea and syphilis which we are now creating, it should be possible to entirely rid civilization of these diseases.
