Gout, with a section on ocular disease in the gouty

"Gout, with a section on ocular disease in the gouty" by Llewellyn J. Llewellyn is a scientific book from the early 1900s that gives a close look at gout, a painful type of arthritis. The text explains what gout is, how it shows up in the body, and its history. The author wants to make the complicated parts of gout easier to understand, including how it affects different parts of the body and what might cause it. The book starts with a look at how people have understood gout over time, going from old ideas about body fluids to newer ideas about chemicals in the body. The author suggests that uric acid, a chemical linked to gout, might not be the only cause, but part of a bigger problem with the body's processes and possible infections. This beginning shows that the book will take a full approach to understanding gout.
