Excerpt from Syphilis: A Symposium
In furnishing such symposiums upon living, practical, every-day medical subjects, the International is carrying out its long-ago announced policy to make of it an effective teaching force - a medium of communication between the leaders in medical thought and practice and the rank and file of our great army of healers, most of whom are necessarily too busy with their beneficent, life-saving work to carry on original investigations or even, unaided, to keep fully abreast of the vast progress making in their art. The teachers, the specialists, the laboratory and hospital workers are, as a rule, to their credit be it said, glad to give of their abundance to the practitioners less fortunately placed, and the latter, it has been amply proved, find more interest and profit in the plain, straightforward accounts by the former of the latest knowledge acquired by them in their several lines of special work, than in the most weighty and scholarly disquisitions on abstruse subjects of little practical value, or report of extraordinary or anomalous cases such as they are not likely ever to encounter themselves.
The subject of syphilis is herein discussed from various points of view. Few medical themes are more important. Syphilis, though nothing like so fatal as tuberculosis, is nearly as widespread, and a vast amount of ill health and misery result from it.
