Does the fact of the disease being recent or chronic affect the
prognosis of treatment? This will be seen by the following table, in
which the length of time that the disease has existed is divided into
four periods, namely--1, those cases in which the attacks first began
less than a year before treatment was commenced; 2, those in which they
had begun from one to five years before; 3, those in which they began
from five to ten years before; and, 4, those in which the disease had
existed for over ten years.
