The physician-therapist constantly has to meet with two diseases, the clinical picture of which is extremely similar to one another, but the prognosis of which, in most cases, is sharply different, if at the time the diagnosis is made and the appropriate treatment is undertaken. I mean here liver cancer and its tertiary luetic changes. Differential diagnosis of these two diseases is sometimes difficult even for a well-equipped clinical institution, represented by sufficiently large therapeutic forces, especially since it may not be within the power of a young district doctor.
