    Granted, then, a large retinue of kindred states, we must still carefully check them as to their absolute identity with gout. We are still liable to similar mistakes. Although many diseases have been identified and their manifestations excluded from the gouty connection, the supply of newly-observed phenomena awaiting an ex- planation is constantly kept up by the searching modern methods of clinical study ; and immature gout may be at times erroneously credited with the causation of novel symptoms. In less than forty years deductions may have to be made from our present list of so-called gouty mani- festations, though probably not as numerous as those we now can make in the review of the ' gouty' symptoms of forty years ago.
