According to last research of doc. MUDr. Jiří Ramba, DrSc., Smetana did not suffer from syphilis. High concentrations of quicksilver found in his body after his death (which led to a conclusion that Smetana had syphilis) were caused by a liniment containing quicksilver. Smetana suffered almost his whole life from inflammation of his jawbone which led also to his deafness. The research and conclusions are summarized in a book Slavné české lebky (Famous Czech Skulls), ISBN:8072623257. Miraceti 00:47, 11 December 2005 (UTC)

You beat me to it! Just yesterday or the day before I came and looked at this page and it was in rough shape. I went looking for my old music history textbook, and by the time I actually found it today, the article was already written and sourced! WTG! Yipely 20:15, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
