To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
I prefer the potash to the soda salts, because the former possess the same alkaline properties as the latter, and have a greater solvent power for uric acid, in addition to which the production of diuresis is attended with advantage. In some instances in which magnesia is indicated, I have replaced the potash by this base, but for a short time only. Next with regard to the continuance of these remedies when no inflammation is present. I am convinced that much benefit may be derived from a judic...ious adminis- tration of salines for a long period; and can bring forward evidence in 'support of my conviction; but to reader the alkaline treatment successful in such cases a particular form of exhibition should be adopted. If a patient is suffering from chronic gout and is at the time exempt fi:om active inflammatory symptoms, the following rules should be attended to : The salines should be given in small doses, and re- peated two or three times a day. They should be administered in a very dilute form, and always on an empty or nearly empty stomach, and some hour or more before food.
