Excerpt from Syphilis in the Innocent (Syphilis Insontium): Clinically and Historically Considered With a Plan for the Legal Control of the Disease

The following essay, the result of ten years' work, is presented as a contribution to the study of syphilis.

Syphilis is not essentially a venereal disease. It has been too frequently regarded as being only Such, and consequently some of its important features have been overlooked. Many able writers describe well its clinical history, pathology, and treatment, as also its connection with prostitution; but the element of its non-venereal character, in many instances, has been relatively little considered, and no full presentation of the subject has ever been made. In the present essay the attempt is made to consider only this Single aspect of the malady, namely its innocent occur rence and the modes of infection whereby it is innocently acquired, by means wholly unconnected with the venereal act.
