Some people say we have
more venereal disease today
than we used to have. Others
say we have less. Still others
say about the same amount
we’ve always had in proportion
to population.
Who’s right? The question is
timely since national attention
is being focused on social hy-
giene this week.
The answer depends on the
point of view. It is true that
more cases are being reported
to state health authorities. They
key word in that sentence is
“reported.” Venereal disease is
like an iceberg—a little bit is
visible above the surface, but
the vast bulk of it is submerged.
Probably no more than 2-10 per-
cent ever comes to light.
Texas has had this experi-
ence: Every single area where
reports have increased has a
wide-awake program of case
finding. Examples are Houston
and more recently, Dallas and
Fort Worth.
The exact reverse is also true.
Areas claiming to have no VD
problem are without energetic
case-finding activities. It all
boils down to this: The dog
won’t come unless you call it.
The number of cases of in-
fectious syphilis reported for
the entire state in 1956 totaled
541. Of that number, 282 cases
were diagnosed by public health
clinics, and 259 by private phy-
sicians.
Now compare those figures
with the record for 1957: A
total of 545 cases reported, 368
Mrs. Audie Nunley who has ^r0m public health clinics, and

birthday at her home in Graham Ports from physicians that

causes concern. It is known that
more than 50 percent of all VD
patients are treated by private
physicians. Unless public health
interview-investigators have
access to those patients, we
cannot find out who their con-
tacts were, and consequently
cannot get them under treat-
ment.
Texas has a harder time try-
ing to control VD than most
states have. The reasons are
tremendous distances, more than
900 miles of international bound-
ary, and 53 military installa-
tions peopled by thousands of
young men—most of them away
from wholesome home influ-
ences for the first time in their
lives.
When penicillin proved to be
an almost miraculous cure for
both syphilis and gonorrhea, we
thought our VD troubles were
over. Budgets were slashed, per-
sonnel reduced, control pro-
grams curtailed. Now we are
reaping the harvest of
mism until the public realizes
VD is communicable. When this
happens we can go ahead with
controlling and eventually elimi-
nating a major public health
menace.
