Ehrlich conceived the whole make-up and properties of salvarsan when most of us find it a hardship to pronounce its name.

"On this slide I have placed a little pin-point of a culture made from the blood of Saratovsky. I will stain the culture.
It is an unfortunate thing that the most contagious lesions of syphilis often give the patient least warning of their presence in the form of pain or discomfort.
