the_o day_n that_o i_o be_v so_o soon_o and_o with_o so_o slight_a pain_n cure_v of_o the_o gout_n i_o have_v give_v my_o thought_n liberty_n to_o expatiate_v upon_o the_o nature_n of_o the_o gout_n and_o first_o of_o all_o to_o call_v in_o question_n whether_o physician_n hitherto_o have_v have_v a_o right_a notion_n and_o give_v a_o true_a account_n of_o the_o nature_n and_o quality_n of_o this_o disease_n and_o after_o a_o regorous_a enquiry_n into_o the_o matter_n and_o upon_o the_o consideration_n of_o this_o sovereign_a remedy_n i_o conclude_v that_o this_o disease_n must_v needs_o
