Excerpt from Further Examination of the Principles of the Treatment of Gout: With Observations on the Use and Abuse of Abuse of Colchicum

Eight years have elapsed since I published my opinions on the subjects principally treated of in this volume. That edition of the work was soon disposed of; and this circumstance furnished a sufficient proof of the interest of the inquiry. As such interest does not appear to me to be weakened at the present moment, I take occasion to offer the results of my further observation and experience.

The chief object of the following pages is to enquire into the real merits of the colchicum autumnale as a remedy in gout. Too strong a warning cannot, in my opinion, be given against the employment of the gout nostrums, or against the empirical use of the strong preparations of colchicum.
