What Is The Proximate Cause Of Gout And Rheumatism? And How do The Buxton Baths Cure Those Diseases? by James Byron Bradley. This 19th-century treatise argues that gout and rheumatism are related diseases arising from lithic and phosphatic deposits in the blood and joints, driven by a deficiency of ammonia and sometimes a loss of heat. Bradley presents a theory that Buxton’s tepid springs cure by absorbing atmospheric nitrogen and water-derived hydrogen to form ammonia in the body; this ammonia then dissolves lithates and phosphates, restoring them to a state of fluidity and removing irritating deposits from small vessels surrounding joints. The book details Buxton as a celebrated watering place, describes the layout and operation of the baths (natural, warm, and private facilities), and offers practical guidance on bathing duration, sequencing, and the use of baths as a therapeutic medicine. It also covers clothing, diet, daily regimen, and common-sense cautions. Bradley situates his view within contemporary debates on humoral versus chemical pathology and emphasizes patient discretion and physician guidance in treatment.
