The first definite work of the Public Health Service in the control of venereal diseases began during World War I. An act of Congress in 1918 created a Division of Venereal Diseases in the Public Health Service and appropriated two million dollars for the prevention, control, and treatment of venereal diseases. Posters, such as this one, were a very popular form of health education.
