Summary "Dolæus upon the cure of the gout by milk-diet" by Johann Doläus and William Stephens is a scientific publication written in the early 18th century. The text explores the use of a milk-based diet as a method for treating gout, a painful and often debilitating condition, particularly among the wealthy. Through a combination of translation, personal anecdotes, and historical observations, the authors aim to present an effective dietary regimen that promotes healing and improved health for those afflicted with this ailment. The opening of this work presents a dedication by William Stephens to a prominent figure, followed by a preface explaining the rationale behind translating and adapting Doläus' treatise. The authors share their belief in the efficacy of the milk diet for gout sufferers, supported by testimonies of individuals who have found relief through this method. The text emphasizes the importance of following a structured regimen and highlights the need for careful dietary adjustments before embarking on the treatment. Readers are introduced to the foundational arguments that underpin the proposed cure, setting the stage for a detailed exploration of the principles and practices related to the milk diet as a remedy for gout in the subsequent chapters.
