Conclusion: JAMA 1901
  • The most important prophylactic measure that medical men can bring about is the education of the public with regard to the risks of venereal diseases and the difficulty and uncertainty of its cure.  High schools and colleges should be advised to give special instruction with regard to the dangers of venereal disease.
