During the Second World War, the spread of sexually transmitted infections became a significant concern for both the government and the public. As military maneuvers increased, soldiers and sailors on assignment overseas were faced with loneliness and sought female companionship, resulting in multiple sexual partners and a consequent surge in venereal diseases. In the Great War, venereal diseases caused the United States Army to lose as many as 18,000 servicemen per day. However, by 1944 this number had been greatly reduced to approximately 606 servicemen incapacitated daily, owing to the Army's efforts to raise awareness about the dangers of poor sexual hygiene and the significant advances in medicine. By late 1943, a case of gonorrhea required hospitalization for 30 days, and syphilis treatment still remained a 6-month ordeal. However, by mid-1944, the average duration for gonorrhea treatment had drastically reduced to 5 days, and many patients were able to remain on duty during treatment.

Both items are in good condition though the Prophylactic packet is opened and it goes without saying that THE PACKET IS NOT SUITABLE FOR USE.
