treatment of the disease under con- 

 ditions which secure complete 

 secrecy. Consulting a quack or 

 so-called " specialist in venereal 

 disease " may lead to grave mal- 

 treatment or neglect, and cannot 

 be too strongly deprecated. The 

 general principle in the treatment 

 of gonorrhoea is to disinfect the 

 parts attacked and to prevent the 

 inflammation from spreading.

Gonzaga. Name of a princely 

 Italian family which ruled over 

 Mantua from 1328 to 1708. Its 

 members also held the marquisate 

 of Montferrat from 1536, and 

 later the duchies of Guastalla and 

 Nevers. It included many distin- 

 guished soldiers, notably Giovanni 

 Francesco II (d. 1444) ; two car- 

 dinals, Ercole (1505-63), ar active 

 ecclesiastical reformer, and Sci- 

 pione(1512-93), a patron of letters ; 

 and Luigi (1568-91), who was 

 canonised as S. Aloysius. 



Giovanni Francesco III (d. 1519), 

 the husband of Isabella d'Este, was 

 a soldier and a collector of art trea- 

 sures. Under his son Federigo II 

 (d. 1540) the court of Mantua was 

 famous. A struggle between two 

 branches of the family, the dukes 

 of Nevers and Guastalla, for Man- 

 tua, France supporting the former, 

 and Spain and Austria the latter, 

 brought about civil war (1627-30). 



The end came in 1708 when 

 Ferdinand Charles IV was de- 



GOOCH 



Austria then annexed Mantua 

 and Savoy took Montferrat. The 

 Guastalla branch of the family 

 became extinct in 1746.
