Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A Treatise on Syphilis in New-Born Children and Infants at the Breast
The doctrine of transmissibility between nurses and sucklings, plainly enunciated by me, has not been seriously disputed, neither can it, as I conscientiously believe, be disputed by candid prae titioners. The contagiousnes-s of congenital syphilis is, then, placed bevond doubt and at the same time that it is an accepted principle, so it is one of the most important, as may be seen from an examina tion of the consequences I have attributed to it (in my recent workl) in the explanation of cases of the transmission of constitutional symptoms in adults.
