I Victory Over Gout Reported By the Lancet lly M'.UM SMITH I'nlli-il 1'n-sH Srli'iicc hriilur NKW YORK (UP) This wcnis to be the -your of vk-tury over (-.out. Medical scientists can scarcely be lieve it, since gout has been such u stubbornly unyielding foe, Ii'it the signs of victury are accumu lating unci now the world-famous medical journal, The Laruel, lux given the victoiy a guarded rec ognition. The recognition was limited to quoting editorially the titles of the two newest victory reports "Com plete Relief of CJout" and "(Joul Now Amenable to Control," and to noting that American and British scientists ait "controlling" gout with the same success with Ihe same means. jfitit Cuiise I'likiimvn Science does not yet know pre cisely what causes gout. In its nor mal chemical functioning, the Ixxly manufactures n white, odor less, tasteless, and all but Insolu ble chemical uric acid. In the normal Ixxly most of it is excrete I altlutugfi traces of it can be found in most blood. In the gouty person, n salt of uric acid, urate, is depos iled in the tissues and the level of uric arid in the blood is high. No one can explain fulhy how it works. But I)r. F. G. W. Marson said: "After five yeai"s' experience wild the continuous drug treatment of gout I am convinced that acute gout ceases to occur when the serum uric-acid level Is controlled, but this control is not usually achieved until treatment has been continued for several months." The control is achieved with one; or another members of the dnigl group called Ihe salicylates. Aspi rin is one, out Marson and other Kixi'ialislK use mainly sodium sali cylate. They use it in comparative ly massive doses. Sometimes there are unpleasant side effects, espe cially as the treatment time lengthens, But these side effects usually pass or they, too, can be controlled. I Sound Case for Drugs In its editorial comment, The Ijincet said "a sound theoretical case could Im made for starling fi uricosuric drug as soon as the di agnosis of gout is firmly estab lished and for continuing it for the remainder of the patient's life," The victory is a "notable ad vance," W said. Yet It "has thrown little fivsh light on the mechanism whereby a chronic familial dete of metabolism Is punctuated by ex plosive episodes of acute gout.
