    Charcot states that the children of diabetic subjects are predisposed to gout, and cites a remarkable instance of this nature. He mentions also another family in which the father was gouty, while gravel, diabetes, gout, and phthisis occurred among the children. The advocates of the neurotic origin of gout cite the frequent connection between the gouty dyscrasia and glycosuria as evidence in support of their views.
