Glandular enlargement in various parts of the body, with rachitis, is traced to hereditary gonorrhea, patients are better at the seaside.-Gilbert.
Wildes thinks that the suppression of favus when derived from gonorrhea in the father leads to hydrocephalus, capillary bronchitis, obstinate teething diarrhoeas and cholera infantum; if derived from the grandfather, suppression leads to consumption and lingering diseases.

He regards the latent and gonorrheal taint as the true explanation of many of the disease manifestations included by Hahnemann under psora. Among other diseases he traces vascular meningitis and cerebrospinal meningitis in infants to the same source.
Burnett appears to confirm this as he traces gout and some forms of rheumatism to a sycotic origin.
Sycotic children (born so), when one or both parents have gonorrhea, have cholera infantum, marasmus, are pining children.

For the constitutional effects of maltreated and suppressed gonorrhea, when the best selected remedy fails to relieve or permanently improve.
For persons suffering from gout, rheumatism, neuralgia and diseases of the spinal cord and its membranes – even organic lesions ending in paralysis – which can be traced to a sycotic origin.
For women, with chronic ovaritis, salpingitis, pelvic cellulitis, fibroids, cysts, and other morbid growths of the uterus and ovaries, especially if symptoms point to malignancy, with or without sycotic origin.
For scirrhus, carcinoma or cancer, either acute or chronic in development, when the symptoms correspond and a history of sycosis can be traced.
