"Neurosyphilis: Modern Systematic Diagnosis and Treatment" by E. E. Southard and H. C. Solomon is a scientific publication written in the early 20th century. This work focuses on the diagnosis and treatment of neurosyphilis, reflecting on a range of case histories from a psychopathic hospital setting, showcasing both failed and successful treatment approaches.

The opening of the book introduces the authors' aims and the context of their research, which predominantly utilizes case histories from a psychopathic hospital in Boston. It highlights the difficulties in diagnosing different forms of neurosyphilis, the varied symptoms presented by patients, and the influence of both structural and functional neurological disorders.
