Jay, James, Sir, 1732-1815.
Reflections and observations on the gout. : Wherein the possibility of curing or relieving that disorder, and the attempts of physicians and empirics for those purposes, are considered; the abuse of theory, the absurdity of specifics, and the impropriety of general rules, in respect to medicine and diet, are pointed out: shewing, that it is by a rational practice only, which adapts a method of cure and a regimen of diet to each patient, that arthritic diseases are to be cured or relieved. / By Sir James Jay, Knt. M.D.
