Abstract
DR. B. BUCKLEY SHARP has provided us with a very interesting book on neurosyphilis; but it might very well have been larger. There are several statements with which we are inclined to find fault. To state categorically that “there are no clinical entities exclusively syphilitic” is a mis-statement. There is no better-defined clinical entity than general paralysis, which is in 100 per cent cases exclusively syphilitic. Again, vascular lesions are present in certainly 80 per cent of neurosyphilitics.
