"The author discusses the problem of the therapy of syphilis and furnishes practical schedules of treatment according to the stage of the disease. The importance of system and a definite plan is stressed. Complicating factors such as cardiovascular involvement are dealt with rather briefly. In discussing post-arsphenamine reaction the warning value of itching and of slight icterus should have been emphasized. Dr. Harnes is almost alone among syphilologists in recommending sulpharsphenamine. In spite of the drawbacks necessarily present in such a brief discussion of an important subject, this small book will have a definite value for the general practitioner". - quoted from the Annals of Internal Medicine, September 1, 1935.
