Low 1932 [32H1], p. 580, "Within recent years malarial therapy has been very extensively used in the treatment of neurosyphilis, and especially in tabes and G.P.I. The results have, on the whole, been very satisfactory .... The Malarial treatment, however, has certain disadvantages. ... Once the attacks are established, their severity cannot always be controlled. In addition, there has been a certain mortality from this treatment. For these reasons other easier and safer methods of producing a temperature reaction have been experimented with." These include milk injections combined with arsenic in neurosyphilis, tuberculin injections combined with mercurial treatment, typhoid and other bacterial vaccines, and hot baths.

Low, 1932 [32H1], 579, "Beume reports a case of syphilis which did not clear up with several courses of neosalvarsan, mercury and bismuth. this man had an accident which resulted in extensive hemorrhage into and around the knee and ankle joints. The syphilitic eruption rapidly disappeared and the Waserman reaction became negative, even although no further drug treatment was being given. This must be looked upon as a case of auto- haemotherapy."
