Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Venereal Diseases: Including Stricture of the Male Urethra This volume is designed by the publishers to be one of a series addressed to the general medical practitioner. My aim has, therefore, been to present the various venereal diseases as clearly as possible, avoiding such unnecessary refinement upon theoretical and mooted points as would be apt to lead to confusion or to error. Practical utility, as well as what I believe to be sound doctrine, has been kept constantly in view, and no effort has been made to display a long list of remedies. Such means as I have found most valuable are recorded, together with suggestions from well-recognized authorities. A physician cannot afford to have many remedies for a given disease if he expects to use any of them well. My views on many of the subjects included in this volume are already before the public, scattered through various books and essays. In the main these views are unchanged. Such alterations as time and a larger experience have effected are recorded herein. My ideas on the treatment of syphilis are only modified in that the tonic dose of the specific is made rather smaller, and the course rather longer than formerly. I have opposed the views of those gentlemen who are throwing confusion in the way of the general practitioner by trying to break down the distinctions between the initial lesion of true syphilis, and chancroid; and who teach that chancroid may be derived from the products of the syphilitic early or late lesions. I have also taken issue with the experimenters who claim to prevent syphilis by excising the initial lesion, on the ground that something more than induration in a sore is necessary in order to prove it to be a syphilitic chancre. Without a reliable history showing previous freedom from syphilis in such patients, added to confrontation, the records of excised chancres fail to be convincing, and the moderate percentage of claimed success is, thus far, not proven. It is to be hoped that some good will eventually come of these experiments, but more accuracy of observation must be brought to the investigation than has been yet employed.
