Excerpt from The American Journal of Syphilography and Dermatology, 1870, Vol. 1: Devoted to the Consideration and Treatment of Veneral and Skin Diseases Auzias Turenne, 'the author of the method, whose experi ments with animals had given him the idea of the method, first proposed to use it in a prophylactic way against syphilis. But to inoculate individuals with syphilitic virus when the virus had not already permeated every tissue is immoral. It is repulsive to every medical man. If, on the contrary, the constitutional syphilis is already present if the syphilitic virus is already permeating every vessel, then it is permitted to in oculate the same virus on the skin and it is the more admis sible when we consider that it is to cure the syphilis.
