Excerpt from Uric Acid in the Clinic: A Clinical Appendix to "Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease"

IN Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease so much space had to be devoted to the records of experimental work and the discussion of theories that I have till now been unable for want of space and time to give anything even approaching a fair sample of the cases on which that work was founded.

Excerpt from Uric Acid in the Clinic: A Clinical Appendix to "Uric Acid as a Factor in the Causation of Disease"

In the present volume, which is issued as a clinical appendix to the original work, I have endeavoured to remedy this defect to some extent, and the cases here recorded may be regarded as a selection from the clinical work I was doing some fourteen years ago, when the earlier editions of Uric Acid were passing through my hands.

In now looking through and recording 'these cases, my more recent experiences have enabled me, I trust, to throw some new light on the work of previous years, of which I did not at the time grasp the full import; so that this volume is both a part of the foundation of the larger work and a new contribution to clinical medicine.

In this volume I have had the assistance of my son, Mr. K. G. Haig, whose case is now for the first time placed on record in its proper place beside my own.
