Excerpt from Syphilitic Affections of the Nervous System, and a Case of Symmetrical Muscular Atrophy: With Other Contributions to the Pathology of the Spinal Marrow
His rapidly failing power caused me to be con sulted. On my first visit, I discovered what I then supposed to be a complication of constitutional syphilitic disease. On each internal malleolus I detected a node; also an abscess of the cranium, on the os frontis, which had been opened in Corfu by one of the military surgeons. The most positive denial of the possibility of a venereal infec tion restrained me from the employment of specific treatment. When the progress to death became inevitable, the patient related to me an incident in his life sufficiently confirmatory of my diagnosis to induce me to make one more effort to save life. The perusal of the case will show with what marvellous quickness mercury interposed to avert dissolution and bring about his recovery.
In 1845 - 1847 a succession of cases brought this subject again under my observation, but upon those occasions with such significance and promi nence of symptoms, that I deemed it my duty to offer the substance of my observations for publica tion to the editor of the Dublin Quarterly Journal of Medicine and Surgery.'

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book provides a study of the link between syphilis and often-debilitating nervous system conditions. Its historical value lies in being among the earliest published observations of such conditions and their connection to syphilis, a topic of great interest at the time of its writing in the 19th century. The author offers case studies as evidence of these connections and proposes treatments, such as the use of mercury and potassium iodide. The book's examination of a previously unexplored aspect of syphilis is significant, expanding our understanding of the disease and its potential consequences.
