Cure of gout by vapour bath and diet in a London letter
A letter to Sir Cadogan discusses gout origins and remedies. The writer argues gout is not hereditary or perfectly periodic but triggered by exercise, diet, and temperament. He recounts long remission, describes Madeira drinking during attacks, praises vapour baths, warns of fatal risks, and advocates a simple hypophanium diet with occasional wine. He blames Venus worship and Mercury therapies for causing gout and other diseases.
