Extract

The history of general paralysis records undoubted cases where the disease has for some reason or other seemed for a time actually cured so that the patients could return to work. Although such cases after a short time showed relapse whereby the disease then followed its usual course, this fact is sufficient to indicate the possi bility of stopping the progressive paralysis in some way.
