In Great Britain, according to the reports of the Army Medi cal Department, during the period 1870 - 82, prostitution in cer tain garrison towns was under sanitary control, while in others it was entirely unrestricted. The result was that in the former towns (under control) the ratio of admissions was only 50 per 1000 men, while in the latter (unrestricted) it was 118. In 1883, the compulsory examination of prostitutes having ceased in all Great Britain, the rate in the towns previously under con trol rose to 110, and to 138 in 1884. In the whole United King dom, the proportion of venereal diseases admitted to hospital (therefore probably not including minor cases) for the period 1889 - 98 was per 1000, with 85 for syphilis; in 1898 it fell down to with for syphilis.
