Chicago. Oct. 5.-There was only mod

Records new discoveries. but the past
has not handed down any known cure for
syphilis.
syphilis exists in two stages. the phi
mary chancre and secondary eruptions.
The chancre may not attract but little at
tention; run a short course and disappear
entirely without treatment of any kind
Yet, all such cases, sooner or later, VIII
be followed by secondary results Per
haps only one copper-colored spot may
mark this stage. or. at most, a few scat
tered pimples or blotches beneath the
surface all Of which may be overlooked.
Therefore, the short duration II the
chancre or mild appearance of the erup-
lions are no sign whatever that this per
nicious virus Is being modified or elimi-
mated.
This specific poison permeates every tbs
sue and deranges all the glands. hence
their functions are imperfectly and slowly
