    I. Gout itself, apart from its manifestations, or the still unknown cause of all gouty phenomena. II. Declared gout, or gout associated with definite struc- tural change. This includes two sets of phenomena : (i) The local manifestations,, and in particular gouty arthritis, which may be acute and temporary or chronic and permanent; and (2) the general manifestations, among which may be included the acute visceral seizures, but which essentially consist of the chronic changes special to gouty cachexia. III. GoiUiness, or the condition of imperfectly declared gout; not necessarily associated with definite structural changes (though these may also be present in a minor degree), and usually consisting of varied functional dis- turbances of a general kind which set up merely clinical symptoms.
