Summary
Frederick Peterson stated in 1903 that he never knew a paretic to recover and that the average duration of life was three to five years. By modern methods of treatment more than half of the paretics admitted are out of the hospital in three years and the majority of these in less than six months. This is an impressive picture of the advances in the treatment of this disease since malaria therapy was introduced.
