Excerpt from The Journal of Cutaneous Diseases Including Syphilis, Vol. 26: January, 1908
In Berck's Maritime Hospital, we examined 153 children taken at random, '71 boys and 82 girls. Among those, we found 80 (10 boys and 20 girls) presenting all the features of heredo - syphilis. Ten were under treatment for Pott's disease, 15 for unilateral, either right or left, hip disease, 1 for double hip disease, 1 for white swelling of the elbow, 2 for white swelling of the wrist, and 2 for suppurative cervical adenitis. The age varied, for the boys, of from 28 months to 7 years, and, for the girls, of from 8 to 12 years.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book examines how quaternary heredo-syphilis, or para heredo-syphilis may also engender bone and joint lesions, generally mistaken for the tubercular lesion of same aspect. The author shows that those bone and joint lesions exist with incomparable frequency, in subjects showing undeniable heredo syphilitic dys trophies. The author studied children presenting suppurative bone lesions treated in Berck-sur Mer hospitals and noticed the considerable number of heredo syphilitics with typical facies: saddle nose, prominent forehead, very developed and very apparent veins of the forehead and temple, natiform skull, deformed auricle, etc. The author also goes through a few wards of Berck Maritime Hospital where children, boys and girls, aficted with tubercular osseous lesions are treated. The study lacks one element, namely, therapeutic proof. It would have been necessary to submit those children, especially those with suppurative lesions, to a specic course of treatment with soluble mercurial injections and potassium iodide. However, the author can quote a personal case, in which a child presenting none of the stigmata of hereditary syphilis and bearing a stulous Potts disease, had her lesions very favorably modied by hydrargyric medication.
