Heat as a Weapon in War Against Syphilis
The Kansas City Star surveys a new heat based treatment for syphilis alongside malaria fever therapy. It explains how controlled heat, via diathermy and mechanical devices, may cure brain involved cases earlier and more rapidly than malaria, though permanency remains unproven. It cites experiments in Dayton and Chicago, the role of Florence Storcky, and calls for public education and cautious optimism from the medical community.
