Abstract
The author studied the cerebrospinal fluid of progressive paralytics, syphilitics, mentally ill and healthy people. The conclusions of his work are as follows: For the diagnosis, chemical analysis provides little valuable data - they indicate only a general disease, without specifying it. The only thing that can be said with more certainty is that in progressive paralysis, certain changes are observed more often than in other mental illnesses. Only Wassermann's reaction is certain. It indicates the presence of syphilis. However, the same reaction indicates tremonema pallida, trypanosema and malaria.
