Excerpt from Recent Literature on Syphilis: With Special Reference to Serodiagnosis and Treatment
The subject of syphilis, as is well known to the medical profession, has always been perennial interest, but at no time in the history of this disease have its chapters been read with closer attention than at present. This is due to three facts - namely, the discovery of the spirochaete pallida by Schaudinn, the importance of serodiagnosis, and the experimentation of Professor Paul Ehrlich in the matter of chemotherapy at the Royal Institute for Experimental Therapeutics at Frankfort, Germany.
These epochal events in the history of a disease which only a few years ago was supposed to have reached its finality as regards treatment and diagnosis have been the means of changing our several points of view, for our horizon has been widened to a degree that must be most gratifying to all those interested in medical research, who are ever on the alert to learn the invaluable lessons which come to us from the laboratories.
Recognizing the importance of the subject of syphilis, and since but few American physicians had access to the latest European literature, the editors of the Interstate Medical Journal deemed it advisable to issue a "Special Syphilis Number" for January with particular reference to serodiagnosis and to treatment with the Ehrlich-Hata arsenic compound, dioxydiamido-arsenobenzol. The articles collected in the brochure appeared in the special number, but, on account of the regular edition having been exhausted soon after its publication, this volume is issued as a reprint, with the addition of several allied articles published in October, 1910.
Progress is never satisfactorily interpreted by one author, and for this reason it is thought that this volume, since it contains the opinions of a number of writers, will be the more serviceable to the profession.
