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.

Reseña del editor
The years of the great war have brought a sharp awakening of the American people to the need for facing the greatest present-day problem of public health. Almost over night we seem to have changed from a nation with its eyes shut and its ears stopped into a country alert, interested, and on the road to the full accomplishment of what had hitherto been declared impossible.
In endless repetition the advocates of the doctrine of laissez faire have told us of the antiquity of prostitution and of the certainty that it would be with us forever in undiminished prevalence. They have said likewise that syphilis and gonorrhea and chancroid - that group called venereal diseases because of their commonest method of transmission - would never come under public health control, because they were "secret" diseases and "different from other diseases." Therefore, the sufferer must be left undisturbed, to spread disease to others and to decay in self-neglect, unless chance information or intuition made him seek and appreciate the advice of a conscientious and skilled physician.
Under the system of the past the physician could treat the patient as little or as much as he saw fit, and be accountable to no one for the protection of society against the refractory or careless patient. The patient, on the other hand, could stop his treatment and ignore precautions against the exposure of others whenever the whim seized him. Up to the time of the war, the American health officer, with his brilliant record for conquering such lesser evils as yellow fever, typhoid fever, smallpox and malaria, felt that the venereal diseases were entirely outside his field. He accepted the dictum that they were "different." As a result, venereal diseases maintained their prevalence and the cases were not even counted. Society paid for its neglect in wrecked homes, childless marriages, invalidism, blindness and insanity. And still venereal diseases were "different."
Out of the war, along with all the suffering and destruction, has come much good. One benefit has been a change of this attitude and the creation of an American plan for banishing the vast amount of ill-being and pain and death caused by venereal diseases. This American plan is an entirely new concept. It is not new in any one part, but new in its combination of all the consistent, worth-while methods, and new in that it squares with the highest American standards of upright living. And it is sound in its sociology as well as in its preventive and curative medicine.
If the American plan is to live and develop steadily into a better and still more effective plan of the future, the people of America must understand it. The silence of the leaders must be broken and their mouths must utter the truth with understanding. The lawyer and the statesman, the teacher and the clergyman, need more than the selected data which are scattered about with popular propaganda. They should have ready access to those fundamental facts about venereal disease on which successful methods of control must rest. To present these facts Dr. Stokes has prepared this book. To make them widely available the United States Public Health Service has published a large edition and is sending it out to the teachers and leaders of the people - particularly the clergymen with their wonderful opportunities for warning, comforting, and advising.
The plan was born with the war.

We first started out as “The Paperback Exchange,” a chain of physical bookstores where we would part exchange your beloved books for new stories to transport you to faraway places. However, as shopping started to evolve to online shops and marketplaces, we bid our stores goodbye to become “PBShop.” This transition has only allowed us to blossom as we now ship thousands of titles to book lovers across the globe. We pride ourselves in being a community of local book lovers which allows our passion and devotion to shine in everything we do. In 2020 we not only celebrated our 20th birthday but our 1st birthday as being completely employee owned after becoming an E.O.T in September 2019. We are proud to be different and embrace standing apart on a book mountain by working from a virtual inventory which allows us to provide thousands of books that may be difficult to get for your bookshelf or your studies. Working with a number of different suppliers allows us to explore other avenues such as puzzles, sheet music and even stationery so we really do have something for everyone. Life is about being versatile in all realms of existence. If this is your first visit or you are a returning customer, we would like to welcome you to the PBShop family, for there is no friend as loyal as a book.
