Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Regimen to Be Adopted in Cases of Gout While the question whether, and to what extent, the use of pharmaceutical remedies and the application of other methods of cure are of service in gout,(i) has been a subject of the liveliest controversy for ages, and we are not yet in a position to say the final word on the subject, there has been for an equal period not the least doubt that a judicious method of living has a very powerful influence both in preventing the disease and in modifying its course. Knowledge of this fact was based, in the first instance, neither on purely theoretical hypotheses as to the causes and nature of gout, nor on the analysis of detailed clinical observations, but on the universal perception of the fact that gout, cceteris paribus (in the same country and amongst the same race), has a greater number of victims in proportion as strictness and simplicity of life have been abandoned in favour of luxury and effeminacy. As early as the first century after Christ, Seneca pointed out that the surprising increase of gout in Eome was a consequence of increased luxury in living, and adduced as sufficient proof the frequent occurrence of gout in the female sex. Women, in fact, who in his time were not behind men in licentiousness of life, were attacked by gout themselves; whereas in the time of Hippocrates, when they lived a simple and modest life, they were spared its onsets.
