VENEREAL DISEASES.
HOSPITAL BOARD'S DEPARTURE. At a meeting of the executive of the W.C.T.U. yesterday 5 the following resolutions were carried: —"That this Union expresses its satisfaction with the decision of the North Canterbury Hospital Board to make provision for inexpensive and easily accessible medical treatment, without registration or publicity, for all sufferers from syphilis. This Union also declares tbat any at> tempt to legalise tho social evil by regulation will be strenuously opposed. The regulation system is condemned as being wrong in principle and a failure in practice. Regulation increases vice, and fails to reduce disease; it tends to corrupt tho young and to demoralise the police charged with its administration." "That a vote of thanks be accorded Dr. Fenwick for his action in moving the Hospital Board to adopt measures for tho relief of sufferers from syphilis."
