Provinces in the care of venereal cases, and at the recent session of Parliament the sum of was voted for this purpose. This money is to be distributed to the Provinces in proportion to popu lation on condition that an equal amount is voted by the several Provinces. Ontario has agreed to provide the requisite funds, and these added to our proportion of the Dominion grant will afford a considerable sum with which to establish clinics for the care of venereal cases. Steps have already been taken by the Board to inaugurate this work. In addition, a strong National Council, similar to the one established in England, has been formed for the purpose of carrying on educational and other useful propaganda.

The Board is of the opinion that in the curtailment of the venereal evil a strong educational campaign is necessary, and in this connection the booklet here presented to the medical profession of Ontario seems a valuable one. This volume was written by Dr. John H. Stokes, Dermatologist and Syphilographer to the Mayo Clinic of Rochester, Minnesota, at the request of the Council of National Defence of the United States, during the late war. It has been published by the United States Public Health Service, and by them and the State Boards of Health of the various States has been distributed to physicians and to public spirited laymen. Dr. Stokes has consented to allow the publication of the volume in a limited edition by the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario. It will be distributed by the Board to the members of the medical profession in Ontario. I desire to express the Board's cordial appreciation of Dr. Stokes' contribution to our educational campaign.
