![Tertiary Stage.—Stugc of sequelae. This stage may begin with the second dentition, at the time of puberty, or not till much later. Its duration is quite indefinite. Most of its symptoms are symmetri- cal:—Keratitis (interstitial); kerato-iri- tis; periosteal nodes; cerebral deafness (not infrequent); cerebral blindness (rare); disease of liver and kidneys; phagedenic or serpiginous ulcerations of skin; cellular nodes (rare). Probably not liable to transmit the disease to offspring. Protection against a new contagion in- complete. The symmetry of the symp- toms is in marked contrast with what occurs in this stage of acquired disease. The paralysis of single cranial, or spinal, nerves, so common from acquired syphi- lis, are, it is believed, never met with in the inherited form. Most of the inflammations tend, un- less arrested by treatment, to permanent disorganization; but one (interstitial ke- ratitis) tends to recovery even without treatment. They are much less easily influenced by treatment than those of the acquired disease.] END OF VOL.
