A short dissertation on the gout. Wherein the universal fear of doing anything to ease or cure it, (instilled in people's heads by both antient and modern writers) will be proved to be a mere bug-bear, a groundless supposition, a vulgar error, &c. and a safe method of relieving the most violent pains, shortening the fit, and lengthening the intervals, will be proposed, and confirmed by several cases. By John Douglas, Surgeon, F. R. S.
