Excerpt from The American Journal of the Medical Sciences, 1870, Vol. 60 The treatment Of syphilis by the repeated inoculation of venereal matter, proposed by M. Auzias-turenne in 1844, subsequently tested by M. Mel chior Robert, Of Marseilles, and practised to a large extent with doubtful results by M. Sperino, of Turin, has of late years been revived in Norway, where it has attracted great attention and called forth violent discussion. Rumours - nay, direct testimony as to its efficacy coming from impartial Observers visiting this distant region, and the importance Of certain patho logical questions which it involves, demand that its claims should receive more attention than they have yet had either in this country or abroad. The chief advocate Of this system has been Prof. W. Boeck, Of Chris tiania, who, in 1862, under the auspices of the Norwegian Government, issued a large and laborious work, in which were reported 252 cases treated by syphilization, and the results compared with those obtain able by mercury and other modes of treatment.
