The Modern Treatment of Syphilis

نویسنده

چکیده

For many years the treatment of syphilis has consisted chiefly in an expression of opinion of the individual physician. In this book on treatment, Dr. Moore presents a complete picture of the treatment of syphilis, based not only on his very extensive experiences in the Johns Hopkins Clinic, but also on the work of others throughout the field. The work is admirably presented. It is clear and concise. Each chapter is a complete section in itself. Although the book is on therapy, it nevertheless is an invaluable guide to the clinician both with regard to diagnosis and prognosis. The book is so broad and complete in its scope that it is difficult to say whether it was designed for the practicing physician or the student. It is a book that deserves an important place in the library of every medical man whether he be medical student, general practitioner, or specialist. ALLAN K. POOLE.
