Synopsis

Explore how non-venereal transmission shapes the history of syphilis and what it means for prevention.

This landmark study examines the innocent routes of infection and how they have influenced medical thinking, law, and public health. This edition focuses on the insontium form of syphilis, presenting hundreds of clinical records and a pioneering classification of transmission. It aims to illuminate practical, hygienic, and medico‑legal perspectives while anchoring its analysis in a broad, international literature.

  • 116 original personal cases of extra-genital chancres documented, with diverse settings.
  • A new framework classifying transmission by household life, care of children, and professional activities.
  • Tables tracking large data sets of chancres and epidemics to illustrate patterns of infection.
  • Discussion of prevention, prophylaxis, and legal controls related to non-venereal transmission.
Ideal for readers of medical history, public health policy, and the evolution of disease prevention.

Présentation de l'éditeur

This book was originally published prior to 1923, and represents a reproduction of an important historical work, maintaining the same format as the original work. While some publishers have opted to apply OCR (optical character recognition) technology to the process, we believe this leads to sub-optimal results (frequent typographical errors, strange characters and confusing formatting) and does not adequately preserve the historical character of the original artifact. We believe this work is culturally important in its original archival form. While we strive to adequately clean and digitally enhance the original work, there are occasionally instances where imperfections such as blurred or missing pages, poor pictures or errant marks may have been introduced due to either the quality of the original work or the scanning process itself. Despite these occasional imperfections, we have brought it back into print as part of our ongoing global book preservation commitment, providing customers with access to the best possible historical reprints. We appreciate your understanding of these occasional imperfections, and sincerely hope you enjoy seeing the book in a format as close as possible to that intended by the original publisher.
