Abstract
THE remarkably successful treatment of gonorrhœa with penicillin was recorded in an earlier note on penicillin treatment (Nature, 677, Nov. 25, 1944). In that note also the opinion of United States Army medical men that the immediate effects of penicillin in the treatment of syphilis are better than those of arsenical preparations was recorded. Leading articles in the Lancet (853, Dec. 30, 1944) and the British Medical Journal (821, Dec. 23, 1944) discuss the whole question of penicillin treatment of human syphilis, with references to the relevant literature.
