Extract

An extensive review of recent advances in the aetiology and treatment of neurosyphilis was published in this journal by one of us, E. L. Hutton (1941). While it is mainly the later manifestations with their crippling disabilities that present themselves to the psychiatrist in the mental hospital, it is becoming increasingly obvious that early treatment is imperative to obtain good results, and that neurosyphilis itself must be regarded as a preventable disease.
