Gangosa, probably a tertiary yaws, gives nearly 70 per cent, positiveluetin reactions and yaws yields a higher percentage of positive Wassermanntests than does Despite the authoritative opinion held against the identity of the twodiseases, it would seem possible that with better knowledge the futuremay reverse this decision. GANGOSA {Muffled Voice).—This disease is probably merely a terti-ary form of yaws, nearly all patients showing scars of that disease or admit-ting past infection.
