Abstract
The fluid state of the treatment of early syphilis during the past ten years and the uncertain status today of the value of penicillin seem reasons enough for this paper. Twenty years ago it was not difficult to present in a summary several treatment programs for the various manifestations of syphilis because it was thought then that the limitations and the accomplishments of the remedies employed were well known. Today it does not seem advisable to summarize the results of evaluation studies or to attempt to estimate the future of penicillin therapy of syphilis, because new ideas and concepts are constantly developing in regard to it. The appraisal of penicillin is still going on and must be continued for several years before the real value of this remedy in syphilis will be known. It is impossible now to present to the physician who occasionally treats patients with syphilis new treatment
