Excerpt from The Treatment and Prophylaxis of Syphilis It is a remarkable fact that up to the present time only of Professor Fournier's works has been translated into the English language - viz., "Syphilis and Marriage," which was published in 1881. This is greatly to be regretted, since the series of masterly volumes written by him constitute the classics of modern syphilology. It is no doubt due to the absence of translations that facts which were fully explained by Fournier a quarter of a century or more ago are apparently little known in England except among a few specialists, and are almost entirely ignored in the text-books. Messrs. Rebman are therefore to be congratulated on their enterprise in securing the rights of translation of Fournier's two most recent publications - "The Treatment of Syphilis" and "The Prophylaxis of Syphilis" - the rendering of which into what, I hope, is approximately equivalent English has been a congenial task.
