Contributions to the Pathology and Therapy of Syphilis edited by German physician Albert Ludwig Sigesmund Neisser (1855-1916). Neisser was a pioneer in sexually transmitted infections who discovered the bacterium that causes gonorrhoea. He was also a part of leading work on leprosy and syphilis. This book collects research on syphilis in primates which Neisser and a number of colleagues conducted in Java in the early 20th century.
