Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Wood´s Medical and Surgical Monographs, Vol. 10 The treatment of nerve-syphilis should be first prophylactic, and second curative. The somewhat stale, but nevertheless highly-important, principle that "prevention is better than cure," could hardly be more strikingly or efficiently illustrated than by the subject to which I now venture to ask your attention. Nerve-syphilis is under any circumstances one of the gravest diseases with which we have to contend in practice. It is, when left to itself, almost invariably fatal, having no tendency to spontaneous improvement or cure, but, on the contrary, a strong drift toward deterioration and death. Even if judiciously and energetically treated, it has generally proved more fatal than either typhoid fever or pneumonia; and although the patient´s life may be spared, he may yet be left permanently disabled, so as to be a burden to himself and his friends; while it happens only too frequently that when we have succeeded in removing the symptoms, and apparently restoring the patient´s health, we are confronted with a sudden and severe relapse, perhaps at a time when we least expected it. From whatever point of view therefore we may look upon the malady, it becomes clear that we have to deal with a formidable and determined enemy, and that we should do everything in our power, not only to repel but to prevent his invasion. The prophylactic treatment of nerve-syphilis resolves itself into two distinct lines of action. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
