Excerpt from On Gravel, Calculus, and Gout: Chiefly an Application of Professor Liebig's Physiology to the Prevention and Cure of These Diseases These pages owe their origin to the suggestion in the Quarterly Review. In writing them, I have assumed that the theories Of Professor Liebig were probably true, because most Of them seemed to me founded on facts which are well known, and to pos sess the evidence Of Simplicity in a high degree. I have tried to add something to that probability by shewing their application to gravel and gout. In the Chapter on Gout, it will be seen how far practical experience at different times has sanctioned the conclusions to which these theories lead us.
