In the bladder ulcers have often been observed which were thought to be due to syphilis. The testicles are much more frequently attacked by syphilis than is generally conceded. The disposition of this gland to specific disease may be explained on anatomical grounds, or by its liability to injury, or by previous disease. A slight infiltration, involving only the parenchyma, is no't demonstrable, as the alteration produced is not severe enough to cause the patient to consult a doctor. In a few instances I have been able to determine an induration in parts of one or the other testicle in men who were given to observe themselves anxiously, or who, being on the point of marrying, wished to be examined for possible remains of syphilitic disease, or even were reminded of a former attack of the disease by the birth of children with hereditary syphilis. In two cases which I had known before the disease occurred I was able to demonstrate an induration in the tail (globus minor) of the epididymis. Two forms are usually distinguished, fibrous and gummainvx orchitis. Both belong to the late forms and develop two years or more after the infection. Fibrous orchitis is more frequent and occurs earlier than the gummy form. It begins with an infiltration in the septum of the scrotum which spreads until it penetrates the parenchyma; the head (globus major) of the epididymis soon becomes involved. The patient feels no pain, only a sense of increased weight and traction in the testicle; the organ is found to be enlarged and harder than...
