Extract

As syphilis is a contagious disease it is a matter for surprise that so few investigations have been made into the conjugal histories of patients suffering film general paralysis of the insane.

Until quite recent years the figures of O. Fischer (1913) have largely been quoted when the incidence of conjugal neurosyphilis has been brought into question. Among the husbands of 86 female paralytics he found 8 cases of conjugal neurosyphilis. More recent inquiries have been made by Moore, the Solomons and Kemp, and their results have been summarized by Moore (1933).
