Synopsis
Excerpt from The Clinical Pathology of Syphilis Parasyphilis: And Its Value for Diagnosis and Controlling Treatment
This disease also furnishes an example of the deliberate experimental search for a drug which, while harmless to the patient, should be capable of destroying the causal organism, a search which, as is well known, ended in the discovery of Salvarsan.
AS is to be expected, these new discoveries, which give rise to hopes that we might control if not eliminate a disease so widely spread, so Often recurring during many years of a patient's life, and of such social im portance, are naturally Of the greatest interest and importance, and have been the subjects of innumer able investigations, so that the literature of the subject is enormous. Some guide, therefore, is wanted by the practitioner which shall sift the observations which are of practical importance, and which Shall Show him how to apply this recent knowledge to the study Of his own cases. It is the intention of this book to provide such a guide, and to consider our clinical knowledge Of the disease in relation to these new diagnostic and therapeutic measures.
