of gout which is distinguished by the terms acute and inflamma- 
tory. If it is remembered that this affection is oftenest observed in 
the human being, in the articulations uniting the metacarpal and 
metatarsal bones with the phalanges, and that it occasionally 
produces intra and extra-articular morbid deposits, such as have 
been just described, and also lesions of the urinary organs — and 
if it is also considered that this affection is often confounded with 
certain ligamentous and tendinous rheumatic attacks, and to such 
an extent that it is impossible to distinguish the one from the 
other ; and that it is particularly in these rheumatic affections, 
thus complicated, that we find these alterations of the heart, we 
can scarcely fail of acknowledging their connexion, or even their 
identity. These complicated musculo-tendinous rheumatisms 
have been designated, and properly, by the name of rheumatic 
gout; and it is only when thus complicated that the synovial 
tendinous sheaths present their most fatal morbid lesions, and 
that the disease occasionally becomes fatal. L. M. 
[Although we cannot fully consent to the opinions of M. Olli- 
vier and Professor Moiroud, we regard these as very interesting 
cases, and as presenting new and very important views of the 
occasional strange connexion and complication of disease, and of 
the unsuspected resemblance between, if not perfect identity of, 
maladies that present very different characters in man and the 
brute. We invite our correspondents to the communication of 
analogous cases. — Y.]
