Excerpt from A Manual of Syphilis and the Venereal Diseases In the present edition every page has received careful revision; many subjects, notably that on Gonorrhea, have been practically rewritten, and much new material has been added throughout the book. With a view to better illustration of the subjects considered, a number of new cuts have been introduced, and a series of lithographic plates, which, through the courtesy of the author and his publishers have been taken from Mracek's well known "Atlas of Syphilis and the Venereal Diseases." The authors venture to hope that the revision will be found to have enhanced the practical value of the work, and that this second edition will meet with a reception as favorable as that accorded the first one.
