Rubbing, joints splitting. <br><br> At the time Hunter was considered the authority on venereal diseases. He thought that gonorrhea and syphilis were caused by a single pathogen. He inoculated a patient with gonorrhea, using a needle that was unknowingly contaminated with syphilis. When the patient contracted both syphilis and gonorrhea, Hunter claimed it proved his erroneous theory that there was only one venereal disease. He championed its treatment with mercury and cauterization. He included his findings in his Treatise on the Venereal Disease, first issued in 1786. Because of Hunter's reputation, knowledge concerning the true nature of gonorrhea and syphilis was retarded, and it was not until 51 years later that his theory was proved to be wrong. <br> <br> Early signature of G.

Hunter's erroneous conclusion was based upon an experiment designed to test this theory, in which an unknown subject was inoculated with infectious matter taken from a gonorrheal patient, who, unbeknownst to Hunter, had also contracted syphilis. When the subject developed syphilitic symptoms, Hunter interpreted this result as validation of the theory, as… Read More
