Brandy, x quart, or more. Will make nine gallons. GOUT, — Supposed to be a dis- ease of the blood. It is generally pro- duced by luxurious living, beer and wine drinking, and the want of exercise ; also by too free a use of animal food, and Intoxicating drinks. These cause deficient secretionary action, deficient perspiration and urine, so as to' corrupt the blood with uric acid and other matter, which should have been ejected from the body, but which are thrown upon some debilitated part of the body, causing inflammation and great pain. Gouty inflammation does not terminate in suppuration and gangrene, but by an effusion of chalky liquid deposited at the joints, causing a stiffness of them ; the deposit is called chalk-stones. A fit of the gout attacks suddenly, without warning, generally in the night ; often with a severe pain in the ball of the great toe, the heel, or perhaps the whole foot. The inflammation may also attack the knee, hand, wrist, elbow, &c., or change from one joint to ano- ther, It is attended with a quick pulse, fever, hot skin, confined state of the bowels, urine high colour, with dense deposits. Hard malt liquor tends to produce uric acrid, even in spite of regular exertions and labour. Treatment. — First restore the de- ficient secretions, and cleanse the stomach and bowels. If there be much fever, nausea, &c., give an emetic, say 15 grains of ipecacuanha powder. Give purgatives ; as small doses of rhubarb, about 10 grains, and bi-carbonate of potash, 15 grains. The following are very useful internal remedies : Infusion of gentian, 3 ozs. ; tincture of coiumba, 2% drachms ; liquor potassa, 25 drops. Mix ; and take in four doses, two per day. Or, Dissolve 1 oz. of gum guiacum In a pint of best French brandy ; infuse a day, then add half a pint of water. Two table-spoonfuls to be taken every morning fasting, followed by a cup of tea. Or, Rhubarb, saltpetre, milk of sulphur, mustard, of each % an oz. ; powdered coriander seed, powdered gum guiacum, of each % an oz. Mix ; take a tea- spoonful every other night in a wine- glassful of weak peppermint water. Meadow-saffron, or colchicum, is said to exert a wonderful influence over gouty affections : — Calcined magnesia,
