Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Treatment of Gonorrhoea in the Male
In the earliest records of prevalent diseases we find the disorder described with singular clearness and exactness. Greek, Roman, and Arabian physicians frequently refer to it in their writings and we have evidence from the Book of Leviticus that the Jews at an early period clearly under stood its nature and contagious character. In the Middle Ages its infectious nature was so well recognised that in many towns, both in England and on the continent of Europe, regulations were in force compelling the periodical medical examination of public prostitutes for the perilous infirmity of burning.'
