All the symptoms enumerated in this section have been known to succeed gonorrhœa, and demand similar treatment. The advocates for the analogy between gonorrhœa and syphilis herein find a ready explanation for such an occurrence, which those adverse to the above opinion have no other means of controverting than by submitting that its rarity is no very substantial proof. Similar results also transpire from the imprudent, or too free use of mercury. The following case is a prototype of the many:— The patient was a person about thirty years of age, and was thus affected: there was considerable inflammation in the entire back part of the throat; the tonsils were excavated to some depth by ill-looking ulcers, the uvula shared also in partial destruction; the tongue was swollen, the tip and front part of it fissured, and on the left side an irritable ulcer was apparent; the nose discharged a disagreeable fluid, and occasionally gave off crusts of hardened secretion. The body of this person, including the head, was thickly sprinkled with venereal blotches of the usual copper color. His health was much impaired, and he stated the disease to have been of nearly twelve months’ duration from the first to the last. The treatment consisted of the exhibition of mercury in the form of the proto-ioduret, and the sarsaparilla. The ulcers were touched with nitric acid, and submitted to mercurial fumigation. At the end of two months he was convalescent. In cases of ulceration of the throat and nose, I have used the nitrate of silver, both in substance and solution, with good effect. ADVICE TO INVALIDS.
