‎Première édition française, traduction française bien plus rare que la version anglaise originale. “This book excited great attention when it was published and ran through eight editions in one year” (Garr.-M.). Cadogan had suffered from gout for many years, and the book is based upon his personal observations. He believed that gout was not hereditary, seasonal, or curable, but was due to indolence, vexation, and intemprance. He recommended rational principles of diet and exercise, emphasizing a common sense approach to the management of gout. Despite the great popularity of the book, Cadogan was widely attacked and harshly criticized by those who disagreed with him. Wellcome II/285; Blake 73-74; cf.
