FINDINGS AND ORDERS, JULY 1, 1944, TO DECEMBER 31, 1944 IN THE MATTER OF PABST PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANY, INC. DOING .COMPLAINT, FINDINGS, AND ORDER IN REGARD TO THE ALLEGED VIOLATION OF SEC. 5 OF AN ACT OF CONGRESS APPROVED SEPT. 26, 1914 Docket 4635. Complaint, Nov. 14, 1941-Decision, July 3, 1944 Social diseases, it is well recognized, should not be submitted to self-treatment by the lay public but, instead, require the supervision of a physician so that proper tests can be made to determine when the organism has been destroyed, and particularly so in the case of treatment sold for gonorrhea, which tends to diminish the visible symptoms and to lead the user into a false sense of security and the belief that the disease has been cured, since the failure thus to obtain adequate treatment may result in complications, such as prostatic infections and arthritis, and perhaps cause the infection of others.
