Author Description

Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1868, Vol. 55 The primary sores represent the primary disease. The lesions Of the connective tissue of the lymphatic glands and loose connective tissue of the body, which accompany or immediately follow the primary sore, indicate that the poison has permeated the system. These may be called the pri mary constitutional disturbances, to distinguish them from the primary local lesions at the point or points of inoculation. These swellings are caused by a too rapid development Of the glue tissue cells, excited by the active growth among them of the Crypta syphilitica.
