Synopsis
Excerpt from Some Fallacies Concerning Syphilis
There is an Eastern saying that runs somewhat in this wise Whenever you mount your horse, do so with a prayer upon your lips, for the grave lies open before you. Yet who would venture, out of this sententious crystallization of an obvious truth, to evolve the broad generalization that equestrian is a fatal exercise.
It is from generalizations like this that syphilis has suffered. Syphilis is indeed a picturesque malady, full of surprises; occasionally startling as by the severity of its developments, and often doing some thing that is unexpected. Yet on the who e, in the whole, in the present day and generation, in this country, it is far from being the severe malady which it is reputed to be generally, among the laity, and largely by the profession.

Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This thought-provoking book probes the history of syphilis and rectifies common misconceptions about its transmission, progression, and cure. The author argues that syphilis is not as severe as commonly believed, and that while it can cause lasting damage, this is often due to patient negligence or unhealthy practices. Addressing the common fear of infection through non-sexual means, the author emphasizes that the risk of contagion from sources such as everyday items is negligible. Moving on to current views on transmission, it explores the worrying trend of heightened symptoms in primary cases when acquired outside the US. In exploring the quest for a cure, the author emphasizes that while no actual cure exists, managing syphilis is possible with medication. It argues against alternative treatments and emphasizes the effectiveness of administering mercury, particularly when used with a prolonged, continuous, and mild approach. According to the author, this method aims at striking a balance between diminishing symptoms and maintaining a tonic effect to increase red blood cells and support the patient's health. The author advocates for this approach, claiming it yields the best results and fewest ill effects.
