-JAHR Georg Heinrich Gottlieb Accessory symptoms of Ganorrhoea  The course of venereal gonorrhoea which we have described, and by which it is distinguished from all other discharges from the urethra, usually takes place in all uncomplicated, non-syphilitic forms of the disease. Not in all cases, however, is this course equally simple and regular. Even in cases where the inflammation sets in with more than ordinary intensity, the pain becomes extremely troublesome and is frequently felt along the whole course of the urethra as far as the neck of the bladder; in such cases the discharge is streaked with blood; the swelling of the urethral lining membrane causes a true dysuria, and the urinary discharges, which only take place in drops, are sometimes either preceded or succeeded by the discharge of pure blood. At the same time the erections become more frequent and painful, and, in case the inflammatory involves the corpora sponglosa, are not unfrequently accompanied by a painfully t

-JAHR Georg Heinrich Gottlieb Gonorrhoeal Discharge So far we have shown with sufficient clearness that we understand by the term gonorrhoea a urethral discharge that have been caused by the action of some specific infectious virus; not any discharge occasioned and contained by the action of some internal or external irritation of the urethra. A gonorrhoeal infection that may not only result from impure coit, but likewise from the use of instruments which the gonorrhoeal virus had remained adhering, generally becomes apparent after the lapse of four to seven days, or even two or three weeks after the infection had taken place. At first it may betray its existence by a slight titillation in the urethra which is not disagreeable and excites erections and a desire for sexual intercourse. This titillation is soon after succeeded, and very frequently accompanied by a scarcely perceptible-secretion from the urethra (gonorrhoea-incipients), which closes more or less the slightly reddened

-JAHR Georg Heinrich Gottlieb Of gonorrhoea generally Gonorrheal discharg FROM what we have said it is evident that we do not understand by the term gonorrhoea, as so many continue to do, every imaginable mucous discharge from the urethra, but only an infectious inflammatory blennorrhoea, and that we regard it as a great calamity in the domain of science that recent practitioners, even medical authors, should ignore the meaning of a term which had been consecrated by the common vernacular, and should designate as gonorrhoea every kind of discharge from the urethra, admitting not only venereal and syphilitic, but likewise arthritic, hæmorrhoidal, catarrhal, and Heaven knows what other kinds of gonorrhoea. We cannot wonder, in the presence of such a horrible confusion of terms, that some physicians should pretend having cured gonorrhoea with remedies that will never remove a genuine gonorrhoea, and that others should still advance the doctrine that a gonorrhoea may not only be cau

Magnesium is essential in catalyzing over 300 different biochemical processes necessary for proper body function. It regulates the absorption of calcium, potassium and sodium. It plays a key role in energy production, digestion, muscle and bone function, cell production, and in the functioning of the heart, kidneys, adrenals, brain and nervous system. It is a critical nutrient for optimal health, and yet as many as 90 % of us may be magnesium-deficient! Magnesium deficiency causes imbalance in the body. It is responsible for fatigue and the inability to sleep, lack of energy, muscle tension, cramps and twitches, headaches, backaches and heart problems. It can cause depression, excessive wo

-JAHR Georg Heinrich Gottlieb Venereal Diseases Among all the diseases that weigh upon suffering humanity, there are probably none which are more extensively discussed by physicians, more dreaded by some, more frivolously regarded by others, and at the same time less definitely determined, with regard to their course and the boundaries of their various forms, than the diseases designated as venereal. According to Fallopius, Girtanner, Astruc, Hunter, Van Swieten, etc., among the older, or Carmichael, Bell, Cazenave, Biett, Baumes, and others, among recent physicians, there exists nothing more fearful and insidious in the world than these diseases. Fostered in the fatal bosom of a degrading passion, and conceived at a moment of burning lust, they scatter, according to some, silently and mysteriously their poisonous seed whose offspring, which, at its first appearance, is but lightly regarded and extirpated from the sphere of observation as speedily as possible by the criminal hand o
