Excerpt from A Treatise Upon Gravel and Upon Gout, in Which Their Sources and Connection Are Ascertained: With an Examination of Dr. Austin's Theory of Stone, and Other Critical Remarks, A Dissertation on the Bile and Its Concretions, and an Enquiry Into the Operation of SolventsThe affection which pafi'es by the name of gout, has engaged much attention in every age. It is, on account of the violence of its fymptoms, and the numbers that labour under it, a malady of the mof'c ferious importance. Phyficians have exerted t'hemfelves to find out a remedy for it, but their endeavours have not hitherto been crowned with fuccefs. Among mhdern difeo veries, the improvements in medicine are net the leafi confiderable, yet it is remarkable, that no material advantage has been gained in the invef rigation of this difeafe. Experience has taught in what manner its violence may be mitigated, but. No effectual means of guarding againi't it have as yet been fuggefied. The mof't eminent of the profefiion have acknowledged themfelves unacquainted with the caufe of gout, and for this reafon it has emphatically been termed the oprrobrium medicorum.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
