Excerpt from Some of the Throat-Conditions Observed in Gouty Subjects The term gouty subject, as used in this paper, has perhaps a somewhat wider range of meaning than can strictly be ascribed to it, if only those are to be termed gouty who have suffered with articular inflammation, or who exhibit characteristic de posits. In this country, at least, a much larger number of persons suffer with other than articular manifestations of the uric-acid diathesis, their symp toms being varied, and often obscure, until the cause is discovered upon examination of the urine, which shows more or less constantly an excess of urates and uric acid, and often contains calcium oxalate and'excess of phosphates. In both classes of patients the upper air-passages are frequently affected, and while the gouty diathesis cannot be affirmed to be the sole cause of the local manifesta tions, it doubtless acts as both a predisposing and a modifying influence.
