Excerpt from On Gout: As a Peripheral Neurosis It is desirable to state the scope and object of this essay. To do this clearly and briefly it is necessary to glance at the theories which have been or are current in regard to gout, of these there are broadly three. Firstly that which refers it to impurity of the blood, or, to maintain an old word which corresponds so little to modern conceptions as to have become almost obsolete, the humoral theory. Secondly the neural or nerve theory, which views gout as depending upon a disordered condition of the nervous system. Thirdly the neuro-humeral theory, which combines the two first and regards gout as being due partly to disorder of the blood and partly to. disorder of the nervous system.
