It begins as a small, slightly raised papule, which slowly grows larger, and finally breaks down, discharging purulent material, leaving a crater-like ulcer, the size of a twenty-five-cent piece, with raised edges and indurated base. The chancre is very rarely painful. At the same time there is an enlargement of the lymphatic glands of the region, which do not coalesce and are not painful.

There is a general adenopathy or lymphatic enlargement, particularly of the postcervical and epitrochlear glands, anemia, slight fever, headache, joint pains, shedding of the hair, iritis, and deafness. The principal secondary symptom is the skin eruption. This begins as the roseolar or macular eruption, which progressively becomes papular, pustular, and even ulcerative. Examples of all these lesions may be found at the same time. They occur symmetrically on the two sides of the body, vary from a pin-head to a split-pea in size, and do not itch. The tubercular syphilid is a large pustule of the secondary stage occurring in severe cases. Mucous patches are papules occurring on moist skin surfaces or on mucous membranes. They are found on the genitalia, under the breasts of women, and on the mucous membrane of the mouth. In the mouth they usually appear first on the tonsils, then at the sides of the tongue, and the inner surface of the cheek and lips. Mucous patches are oval, grayish-white, slightly raised, and moist, and leave a raw, bleeding surface when scraped away. The lesions in the mouth are accompanied by sore...
