1. _Opium._ It should at first be given in small doses, and afterwards increased, as circumstances may require. 2. _Madeira_ or _Sherry wine_ alone, or diluted with water, or in the form of whey, or rendered more cordial by having any agreeable spice infused in it. It may be given cold or warm, according to the taste of the patient, or the state of his stomach. If this medicine be rejected in all the above forms, 3. _Porter_ should be given. It is often retained when no other liquor will lie upon the stomach. I think I once saved the life of Mr. Nesbit by this medicine. It checked a vomiting, from the gout, which seemed to be the last symptom of his departing life. If porter fail of giving relief, 4. _Ardent spirits_ should be given, either alone, or in the form of grog, or toddy. Cases have occurred in which a pint of brandy has been taken in the course of an hour with advantage. Great benefit has sometimes been found from Dr. Warner's tincture, in this state of the gout. As these observations may fall into the hands of persons who may not have access to Dr. Warner's book, I shall here insert the receipt for preparing it. Of raisins, sliced and stoned, half a pound. Rhubarb, one ounce. Sena, two drachms. Coriander and fennel seeds, of each one drachm. Cochineal, saffron, and liquorice root, each half a drachm. Infuse them for ten days in a quart of French brandy, then strain it, and add a pint more of brandy to the ingredients, afterwards strain it, and mix both tinctures together. Four table spoons full of this cordial are to be taken every hour, mixed with an equal quantity of water, until relief be obtained. Ten drops of laudanum may be added to each dose in those cases in which the cordial does not produce its intended effects, in two or three hours. If all the different forms of ardent spirits which have been mentioned fail of giving relief, 5. From 30 drops to a tea spoonful of _æther_ should be given in any agreeable vehicle. Also, 6. _Volatile alkali._ From five to ten grains of this medicine should be given every two hours. 7. _Aromatic substances_, such as alspice, ginger, Virginia snake-root, cloves, and mace in the form of teas, have all been useful in this state of the gout. All these remedies are indicated in a more especial manner when the gout affects the stomach. They are likewise proper when it affects the bowels. The laudanum in this case should be given by way of glyster. After the vomiting was checked in Mr. Nesbit by means of porter, he was afflicted with a dull and distressing pain in his bowels, which was finally removed by two anodyne glysters injected daily for two or three weeks. 8. Where the gout produces spasmodic or convulsive motions, the _oil of amber_ may be given with advantage. I once saw it remove for a while a convulsive cough from the gout.
