Abstract
This is an illustrated account of the early measures employed in the treatment of gout, comprising magical and religious cures and various forms of counter‐irritation, including cautery, moxibustion, acupuncture, setons and issues, as well as blood‐letting and galvanism. Certain of these latter practices, founded on the ancient humoral theory of disease, continue to be used in their orginal form to the present day while others have served as the foundation for some current methods of physical therapy.
