his gleet. I mention this case simply to show that in this disease, as in almost all others of a sexual nature, if the patient would adopt a line of life involving in it pure air and plenty of it, simple diet and little of it, rest, cleanliness of body, freedom from tobacco, alcoholic liquors and sexual intercourse, it would absolutely be all that would be required to cure him of his disease and restore him to perfect health."—John Cowan, M.D.
You will note that the principal difference in the treatment of gonorrhea and gleet is that in the treatment of gleet, abundance of exercise is advised, while in acute gonorrhea no more exercise should be taken than is absolutely necessary. If gonorrhea becomes chronic, however, it should be treated the same as gleet.
