On Syphilis

On Syphilis: Constitutional and Hereditary, and on Syphilitic Eruptions is a medical book written by Erasmus Wilson in 1852. The book discusses the nature and causes of syphilis, a sexually transmitted infection caused by the bacterium Treponema pallidum. Wilson explores the various ways in which the disease can be transmitted, including through sexual contact, blood transfusions, and from mother to child during pregnancy. The book also delves into the various symptoms and manifestations of the disease, including the characteristic skin eruptions that often accompany syphilis. Wilson also discusses the hereditary nature of the disease, and how it can be passed down from parent to child. The book is a comprehensive guide to the diagnosis, treatment, and prevention of syphilis, and is an important historical document in the study of sexually transmitted infections.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
