Excerpt from White and Martin's Genito-Urinary Surgery and Venereal Diseases The Tenth Edition of this book appears long after the Ninth has been completely exhausted, not for any lack of enterprise and urging upon the part of the publishers, but because the authors have felt that the work must be reset, rewritten and reillustrated to fairly and yet succinctly present the views and practices of to-day. This has implied a careful study of current literature and the selection therefrom of that which seems of permanent value. Also an omission of much that the fashion of the day has passed because it has been supplanted by something better. We have incorporated in the text a brief but practical presentation of vaccines and serums; tests of renal function which are found most serviceable in estimating operative risks; high frequency desiccation; laboratory diagnosis of syphilis and control of treatment; the accepted conservative and radical treatment of prostatic hypertrophy including those measures which have done so much te lower mortality. We have endeavored fully to present those therapeutic methods which have received the general approval of the clinically experienced. We have not found, practically, that a continued positive Wassermann is a condition to be heroically combated at the expense of the patient's health, nor are we in accord with the belief that old symptomless syphilitics should receive either prolonged and continuous treatment or intensive courses with the sole view of changing their Wassermann, though we believe that such patients should be given intermittent treatment short of producing drug reaction through life and that mercury and iodides should be the basis of this treatment. We have not been convinced of either the safety or the special value of subdural injections in cerebrospinal syphilis, ataxia or paresis.
