CARL E. HILL, M.D.. M.O.H‘ Gout, a painful swelling of the joints caused by an accumulation of uric acid in the blood, used to be an occupational hazard of the nobility. According to the old belief, the only people who suffered from the dis- ease were middle-aged noblemen who were over- fond of their port. But a recent study has shown that gout has been acting under false pretenses. It can af- flict all sorts of people of all races. And ladies please note - the incidence of gout in women is much higher than has been suspected. Township of North York DEPT.
