Excerpt from Syphilis: A Symposium
It is gratifying, especially as syphilis is not exclusively a venereal disease with victims among the dissolute only, to note that a majority of those pre-eminently qualified to pass judgment on the subject seem to agree now that it is a curable disease, with certain rather infrequent excep tions. Even syphilitic parents, according to most of the distinguished contributors to this sym posium, can, except in unusually malignant cases, be so thoroughly cured in from two to five years, as to procreate or bear healthy offspring. Some of these writers doubt whether it is good policy for a physician ever to promise such a result un qualified, since in rare exceptional cases, despite the most skillful treatment, the disease taints the system, and would endanger offspring for a longer period, and in certain of these cases it is possible that the patients may never escape en tirely the danger of a later outcropping of the poison in themselves or children. Nevertheless.
