Dear old Dr. Tact is dead. And în bă there stands the new young, shoes energetic Dr. Fact, whose motto is, “Remove the cause and Nature does the resti:
Up till recently, if a patient suffered frour twinges of pain and swollen joints, in cang the doctor, the friend of the family and called the trouble:
rheumatism or "gout" or "rheumatic gout, just as Tact decrced. To the Nonconformist it was "rhoumatism." Rheumatizm is so anitently respectable. To the Anglican it wasgout." There is something aristocratic and disreputable about gout. It takes a regular dog to have the reat thing. To the Anglican climber it was inherited gout. It was almost as good as a pedigree. It spoke of the three-bottle days and those good old times was

Following the diagnosis came the treatment. It was the same for all, but Tact described it differently to each. Rheumatism must be kept away from draughts

Now the cause of these promisenous pains and big, sometimes chalky, joints f is interesting
There is rich man's gout from over- feeding. There is poor man's gout from underfeeding. It is the same thing. There is teetotaller's gout and drinker's gout. It is the same gout

So much for Dr. Tact He advised what was expedient and his day is done,
