Analysis of a Substance secreted on the Hand of a Gouty Person. By 
O. Henry — This substance showed itself after violent attacks of gout 
under the form of a very thick, glutinous secretion, and was, as it were, 
sprinkled with a white matter. A very small quantity examined by 
Henry was formed of the following matters: —

2. Lactic and phosphoric acids. 
3. Chloride of sodium and phosphate of lime. 
4. Evident traces of urate of soda.
