The abundance of clinical material in Parisian hospitals in general and, in St. Louis's hospital in particular, gives full opportunity in a relatively short period of time to see a lot of dermatoses in their various periods of existence; here it is possible to quickly, practically, at the patient's bedside, view the entire dermatology. If we add to this that diagnostics is established by the creators of dermatology, people who willingly maintain their knowledge, then it will by itself be clear that under such conditions, the skill is quickly acquired to scientifically assess pathological phenomena on the skin, the correct recognition of which, even with its elements, not very often presents significant difficulties.

Both the abundant clinical observation and the pathological, histological and bacteriological knowledge, step by step, make it clear to us that the time has finally passed to look at gonococcal infection, as soon as the local process takes place, that gonococci in the various tissues and organs of the human organism are able to produce severe changes, often leading to death. In corroboration of my words, I could cite quite an abundance of clinical literature, often confirmed by bacteriology and histology, but I do not see the need for this in the first place, because it (although not everywhere in detail) has already been collected in various works on gonococcal infection, and in the second and foremost, because purely clinical literature is not directly related to my work. If, however, below I present clinical literature on the scope of general gonococcal infection, then I try to do this in general terms, grouping it by anatomical organs and tissues wherever possible.

For the treatment of his patients, the author used the drug styrakolum, which is a compound of guaiacol with cinnamic acid and was proposed back in 1891.
