Sir Arthur Garrod, in 1S4S, that the
blood of equity patients contained
uric acid in an excessively large
amount, that much attention was
paid TO this subject. Later scientific
men learned that in govt (also true
in rheumatism) the kidneys do not
work properly to throw off the uric
acid poison; consequently uric acid
crystals are deposited in and about
the joints, where an Inflammation is
set up in the nearby tissues. When
for any reason the circulation is
sluggish, as in the joints of the toes,
crystals formed from uric acid are
deposited there, and one suffers
from govt; or, when deposited in
the tissues, one suffers from muscu-
lar rheumatism or articular rheu-
matism. Ny only medicine TO coun-
teract the uric acid and TO throw il
