    HE rational treatment of the very painful and widely prevalent diseases to which this pamphlet refers has long been considered one of the most difficult of solutions of the many knotty problems with which the science of medicine has to contend. I make no apology to the medical profession for any infringement on their rights and privileges, for the course of treatment that I seek to place within the reach of all is itself the outcome of a life-long experience of one of the oidest and most honored members of the medical faculty. It must not be forgotten that such diseases as Gout and Rheumatism are usually the results of the operation of causes that have been active for years previous to the outbreak of the disease. They are not to be cured in an instant or by a few doses of medicine. The cure, if it is to be genuinely such, must be gradual, and time and patience are necessary to undo the work of years of violations of the laws of health. A very large percentage of all forms of valvular heart disease is due to an inflammation of the lining membrane of the heart, excited by rheumatic and gouty poisons circulating in the blood. Now, since apoplexy is frequently associated with valvular heart disease, it can very readily be seen that Gout and Rheumatism are common indirect causes of apoplexy and paralysis.
