THE MODERN TREATMENT OF SYPHILITIC DISEASES, BOTH PRIMARY AND SECONDARY; COMPRISING THE TREATMENT OF CONSTITUTIONAL AND CONFIRMED WITH NUMEROUS CASES, FORMULE, AND CLINICAL OBSERVATIONS. BY LANGSTON PARKER, F.R.CS LATE SURGEON AND NOW HONORARY SURGEON TO THE QUEEN'S HOSPITAL, BIRMINGHAM, ETC. ETC. FOURTH EDITION, ENTIRELY RE-WRITTEN, WITH NUMEROUS ADDITIONS. N32 724 1860 PREFACE. THIS work contains the result of twenty-five years' labour and observation on the pathology and treatment of Syphilis, more especially in its secondary and constitutional forms. During that period, without taking into consideration the extended field of observation which a large hospital constantly presents, I have personally treated more than twelve thousand cases. My experience is recorded in the following pages. In the present edition, I have carefully revised each line; many parts have been entirely re-written, and numerous emendations and additions have been made. The opinions and practice of others have not been neglected ; and I believe that this volume presents a correct view of the present state of medical knowledge on the subject of Syphilis up to the period of its publication.
