Exploring the history of syphilitic disease (VD) and its contemporary treatment, this book provides a truly groundbreaking approach to understanding the disease. Prior to the author's work, there had been little progress in understanding the nature and treatment of VD since the 18th century. The author shows how doctors used painful and ineffective methods, such as bloodletting and induced vomiting, to combat the disease. The publication of this book was met with controversy due to the author's focus on VD in women and children. It inspired the development of less invasive medical strategies that remain the foundation of syphilitic treatment today.
