idiotic or insane or had any of the following diseases察 viz。此 syphilis察
tuberculosis察 cancer察 leprosy察 yellow fever察 smallpox察 or any other
contagious disease or fever察or was shown on examination to be addicted
to vicious habits察 were denied admission。 Another of the duties of the
Department of Health was to examine every person that applied to practice
medicine and surgery or to engage in any professional calling。 The law
required a medical examination to be made of the person察 who was
granted a license every year察 so as to keep the professions up to a high
standard。
Before granting license to any man察 three male physicians in
Government employ examined him察 and if a female three female
physicians examined her。 The first examination was physical察and if found
to be in good physical health they were passed up for a mental
examination察and if they qualified for their profession they were examined
morally察when they were asked the following questions此 Do you believe
in the Brotherhood of Man拭Will you do unto others always as you would
desire that others should do to you拭 Do you promise that you will not
render obedience directly or indirectly to any person or persons outside of
Eurasia and that you will render willing obedience to the laws and do all
that lies in your power to maintain the honor of the country拭─If they did
not agree to those rules of conduct they were denied a license。 If any
person attempted to practice any profession without a license he was
punished by six months' imprisonment at hard labor。
Any person practicing fortune´telling or any other fraudulent calling

was tried for obtaining money under false pretenses察 and on conviction
thereof was sentenced to five years' imprisonment at hard labor at the rock
crusher。 The result of this wise law showed in the total absence of bands of
gypsies察dancing dervishes察holy rollers and strolling vagabonds of every
description in Eurasia。 If a man or woman was found anywhere in Eurasia
without visible means of support the Department of Health found work for
them until such time as they could better their condition。 They were
required to work eight hours a day if they were able to do manual labor
and if not able to work they were sent to a Government Sanatorium。
The Department of Health had charge of the sewerage system in every
district察city as well as country。 In the cities it supervised the erection of
every new building察and any old buildings that it pronounced unsanitary
had to be torn down。 It saw also to the removal of all garbage and refuse
material。 The Department of Health had charge of all births察marriages and
deaths察and could order the cremation of any dead body when it believed
that it would be to the benefit of the health of the community to do so。 The
Department of Health was also required by law to make a physical
examination of children when they were born and to take care of them if
the mother was unable to do so and to send all illegitimate children to the
Government Orphan College。 It superintended the sale of all medicine and
drugs察 having a Government physician at every Government warehouse
where they were sold。 It had also charge of all idiots and insane persons as
well as dangerous criminals。
The Superintendent and two Assistant Superintendents of the lunatic
asylums of which there were only two察one for males and one for females
were required by law to castrate male lunatics and emasculate females
who had become insane through masturbation or other vicious habits and
to chloroform dangerous lunatics who had homicidal tendencies。 Those
three physicians in committee examined every dangerous lunatic and two
of them could order the person chloroformed if in their judgment it was
necessary。 Lady physicians had charge of the female lunatic asylum with
the same authority as the men。 The two asylums were located in the center
of a fine tract of farming land in the Southern part of Eurasia察consisting of
ninety´two thousand one hundred and sixty acres in a high state of
48

cultivation with flourishing orchards and vineyards察 and at the time I
visited it had a population of sixty thousand male inmates and thirty´five
thousand female inmates´besides the officers and guards。
The mildest and most tractable of the inmates were in communities
organized in military style in different parts of the grounds and were
busily employed in doing everything that was required to make the
institution self´stustaining。 The physicians of the State prisons were
required by law after one year's imprisonment one year after sentence was
passed was allowed to prove innocence to castrate all males convicted of
rape察 incest察 or any other infamous crime against nature察 and to castrate
every male prisoner who committed sodomy or other infamous crime
while in prison察but only after trial and conviction for the crime before the
District Court察 and they could by a majority vote chloroform any
dangerous criminal that showed homicidal tendencies。
I saw no red´light sign of houses of prostitution察 and on making
inquiries I was informed that there were no houses of prostitution in
Eurasia察for as soon as information was given to any Magistrate the law
required him or her to issue an order for the arrest of the female practicing
prostitution察 and on conviction she was committed to the female
reformatory for five years察 subject to parole after one year察 and for a
second offense of the same crime she was deprived of the power to
propagate the race。 Gentle reader察 don't think that this law is cruel or
unjust察 for the amount of evil that a depraved woman can commit in
spreading察 that loathsome disease察 syphilis察 is incalculable察 and Christ
when he told the woman that had committed adultery that he did not
condemn her also added此 Go and sin no more。; A committee of six
physicians察 three males and three females察 in the service of the
Government in every district were required by law to examine every
person desiring marriage and if the person examined was affected with
tuberculosis察cancer察scrofula察leprosy察syphilis察or any other loathsome or
contagious disease察 then that person was denied a license to marry察 and
also if they were mentally unsound。
Under the law no person was allowed to marry until twenty´one years
of age察male and female察and any person violating this law was punished
49

by one year's imprisonment at hard labor in the district in which this law
had been violated。 In no case was a Government physician permitted to
receive any compensation for services rendered as physician察 for they
were the servants of the people察elected by the people in every district and
paid by the Government a salary fixed by law察and no bonds were required
of them or of any public official察 for the people elected every public
official with the exception of officers in the Army and Navy察 who were
elected by the soldiers up to the grade of Colonel察and the Brigadiers and
Major´Generals were appointed by the Minister of War察 was was
Commander´in´Chief and directed all the operations of the Army and
Navy in war察and also the agents of the Department of Information察who
were appointed by the Minister of that department on the recommendation
of his assistant chiefs察of whom there was one in every district who was
elected
