the campaign venereal disease was ane nounced today by Dr. Verne K. Harvey, State Health director, fole lowing notification that the U. 8. Public Health Service had allocated $59,380 to Indiana for this work. The new program, which primar ily will supplement work now bee ing done on a limited scale, is to ine clude: 1. Epidemoilogical followup of active cases of syphilis to prevent spread of the disease. 2. An extension of facilities to rural areas. 3. Provision for an educational campaign. 4, Organization of a consultation service where physicians may be advised of new methods of diagnosis and treatment, “Since 1933, the State Health Board has been carrying forward its antisyphilis campaign with all funds available. Funds for this purpose have been very inadequate up to now,” Dr. Harvey said. “The allocation from the Federal Government is approximately what we figured we would receive for our program. With the aid of these funds we can enlarge the program we now have.”
