The syphilitic has neither male nor female polarity(page 114) and no duling energy is obtainable from thepsychomotor region (page 52). Normal sexual polarityis temporarily restored and psychomotor energy is obtain-able after mercurial inimctions or the use of safranin atthe site of inoculation (pages 210 and 212). Sexual polarity is maintained in intestinal autointoxi. SYPHILIS 135 cation. The absence of polarity in syphilitics may accountfor sterile marriages, abortions, miscarriages and stillbirths. The fact that polarity may be restored temporarily byinunctions at the site of primary infection may be of servicein avoiding the foregoing. In syphilis, no duling energy is evocable from the normalepigastric area (Fig. 26); in autointoxication, this reaction ispresent. 3. In addition to the stomach dulness, there is an areaof dulness in the region of the splenic flexure (Fig. 50) which

In sj^hiHs, the vibrodynamometer (page 49) showsa recurrent stomach dulness at 20 Ohms. This rate is thesame in mild or severe cases whether determined from theliver, spleen or spine. In autointoxication, the same apparatus demonstratesa vibratory rate of 10 Ohms. Vide also wave rate with the Sphgmobiometer (page286). The use of the biodynamometer (page 44) permits usto say whether we are dealing with a quiescent or active SYPHILIS. When the energy is obtainable from the spine or liverin quiescent syphilis, the potentiality of the energ)^ variesfrom 2/25 to 10/25 of an Ohm. In active syphilis, it is from1-3 Ohms. Roughly speaking in quiescent spyhilis, noreaction (stomach dulness) is obtainable
