Página 84 - I may trust my own experience, the metastasis of gout more frequently takes place to the head than to any other part. It is usually stated that it shows itself in the common forms of apoplexy and paralysis. I have found these the rarest forms of the disease. I have more commonly seen a kind of stupor, in which the patient preserves his senses of hearing and sight, but loses his consciousness of persons and circumstances, place and time. He knows no one about him, not even his own family; his utterance...

Página 174 - This fluid then is compressed between two opposing powers, that namely which is derived from the heart and arterial system, urging it forward on its course, and, on the other hand, the antagonistic resistance of the great veins leading to the right auricle. Under this compression, I believe that the vessels give way, and...
Página 101 - If we cannot affirm that urea, the lithic acid, or other animal compounds circulating in the blood, give cause to the phenomena of gout, under the most cautious reasoning we are at least entitled to assume, with some confidence, that these matters secreted from the kidneys are the equivalents to gouty matter present in the system — that they have certain proportion of quantity to each other — and that upon their balance depend all the essential characters of the disease...
