Excerpt from A System of Syphilis, Vol. 1 of 5
The proposal of which the present volume is in part the accomplishment has been made at a singularly appropriate time. The discovery made by Schaudinn, and subsequently developed by an army of enthusiastic workers on his lines, promises to throw much new light upon the many problems which the study of syphilis presents. It was a worthy and well-judged design on the part of the present Editors to prepare a work in which those problems Should be discussed in full detail.
Impressed by this fact I accepted with pleasure the compli ment which was paid to my own seniority in the request that I would write a short prefatory chapter to the work.
In attempting to carry out my undertaking, I have found it exceedingly difficult to restrict myself to the space at my dis posal. The subject is very large and the topics very varied. It has seemed that more, that will be useful to the reader in the way of suggestion, can be put into a small space in the form of detached paragraphs than by attempting a consecutive essay. It is in this condition that the following pages must be accepted. They are intended chie y to suggest lines of profitable thought and future inquiry.
