Venereal disease information push urged in Texas
State Health Officer Geo W Cox calls for wide public information on venereal disease as 1948 reports show syphilis and gonorrhea leading among top communicable diseases. He notes 20 000 plus syphilis and 27 000 gonorrhea cases and forecasts continued high rankings in 1949. A Better Health for Texas Week aims to cut rates in 1950 with local health departments pushing accessible information. Also ad for children's coats at Norette Bargain Store.
