Excerpt from The Treatment of Gonorrhea: And Its Complications, in Men and Women, for the General Practitioner I suppose it would be the appropriate thing to start this book with a disquisition upon the widespread extent of gonorrhea and all the terrible ravages that it works in the individual and in the race. Gonorrhea is a widespread disease and it does cause great ravages in the individual and in the race. Nevertheless neither its extent nor its seriousness must be exaggerated. The writer has always had a great aversion to lurid exaggerations of any kind first, because an exaggeration is an untruth, or a half-truth, which Tennyson declares to be the worst of lies; and sec ond, an exaggeration usually defeats the very object in be half Of which it is propagated.
