An essay on the gout; in which a method is propos'd to relieve the hereditary, and to cure the acquir'd, (at least if undertaken before the Decline of Life) with as much Certainty as Intermittents are by the Cortex; particularly, the Method of Diet, Exercise, &c. to be observ'd in this, and most other Chronical Disorders, is laid down; Temperance, and in some Cases great Abstinence, is inculcated; the Errors that some Modern Authors have run into upon these Heads are pointed out, and refuted; and, lastly, Examples and Histories of three Kinds are adduc'd, to confirm the Reasoning and Method recommended, Viz. I. Of such as have liv'd healthy and strong to a great Old Age by his Method. II. Such as have been cur'd of various Diseases and bad Habits. III. Such as have been reliev'd, or actually cur'd of the Gout by it. By T. Bennet, M.D.
