An interesting article by Vishnepolsky and Dovgopol, who set out to establish the influence of congenital syphilis on the physical and mental development of 38 children with congenital syphilis, was devoted to this extremely important and comparatively little-studied question. Besides determining the usual dystrophies and anomalies of build in such children, the authors tried to study the state of the nervous system and psycho-nervous constitution, as well as to reveal defects of intellect and emotional-volitional sphere.
