Manuscript / Paper Collectible
Scudamore's entry in the Oxford DNB does not refer to the financial difficulties which he describes in this interesting letter, surprising in the light of his royal patronage and success as an author. 3pp, 4to. Bifolium, addressed on reverse of second leaf, with postmark and seal in black wax, to 'The | Revd. Sir Thomas Cullum | Bart | Hardwick House | Bury St Edmunds'. Forwarded, in another hand, to 'Sir T G C | No 3 | Porto del Popolo | Rome'. In good condition, lightly aged, with minor trace of mount adhering. Folded four times. Scudamore begins, somewhat portentously: 'My dear Sir Thomas, | I am too well aware of the disadvantageous circumstances under which I take up my pen to address you; and, equally as on the last occasion, must throw myself on your indulgence & kind friendship.' He explains his financial situation: 'This year has severely disappointed me as to the amount of my income from professional practice and I have no other. - I am making a new effort to present myself favorably to the public, in publishing a 2d ed of my book on the treatment of consumption by inhalation in wch I have I have [sic] obtain'd a far greater degree of success than I could ever have expected. I have dedicated the work by permission to the King.' He will be happy to send Cullum a copy of the book, which he not only flatters himself will 'be further useful to this sad class of invalids', but also hopes will be 'the means of increasing my own prosperity'. He 'gain'd very sufficient credit as an Author & Physn.' by his 'work on Gout &c but in no measure the lucrative benefits to which, from its success, I was entitled.' He complains that 'persons, professional and non-professional', have admitted his 'principles & practice without reference to me; or that being as it were called a Gout-Doctor, without having the practice in proportion, has often been injurious to me.' In consequence, despite good health, he leads 'a life of exceeding anxiety': 'my courage is not destroyed and I hope earnestly for better things.' Having done with 'these preliminary observations', he takes 'the liberty of soliciting that you will have the kindness to allow the liquidation of my debt by instalments of 25£'. The circumstances are 'sufficiently humiliating' to Scudamore's 'pride & feelings to make this request', but 'necessity, not choice, forces me to the appeal'. He ends in the hope that Lady Cullum enjoys good health.

Book First Edition
Halle, in der Rengerschen Buchhandlung, 1819, 8°, XII, 370 pp., feines Exemplar im Halbledereinband der Zeit, mit ausgiebiger Rückenprägung und Vergoldung. Rare First German Edition! "The chief pioneer in this field was Sir Charles Scudamore (1779-1849). He was himself a sufferer with gout, and, stimulated by the work of John Hunter, he studied his patients objectively and analytically, basing deductions on careful observations and experiments. He initiated crude clinical trials, and even did some valid experiments on dogs. Although his outlook remained completely clinical he made use of those ancillary chemical aids which were becoming available to this new generation of scientific physicians. However, as the result of his investigations he thought that "We have no actual proof even of the existence of uric acid in the body . . . or if present there is no apparent cause why it should not be excreted by the kidneys, the glands obviously designed to separate and excrete saline matter." Scudamore came of an old Herefordshire family and was the fourth generation to study medicine. He practiced as an apothecary in London for ten years before graduating M.D. in Glasgow in 1814 with a thesis entitled De Arthritide. His interest in rheumatism was by then well developed, and in 1816 he published A Treatise on the Nature and Cure of the Gout with Some Observations on Rheumatism, the first systematic survey of the subject which he dedicated to Matthew Baillie. It was based on his detailed personal observation of about one hundred patients, and proved such a success that a fourth edition had appeared by 1823. Scudamore considered that previous writers had classified gout in over-elaborate fashion: "As in medicine it is always dangerous to frame distinctions without a difference." He expressed agreement with Latham that three categories were sufficient, namely acute, chronic, and retrocedent. He was a protagonist of the visceral conception of gout, saying that "the inflammatory process will seldom be confined to the joints, but will affect all tissues which are subservient to the function of the joints"; although he avoided the extreme views regarding retrocedent forms which were held by many contemporaries. Regarding this he said: "Dyspepsia and other visceral derangements which commonly occur in a gouty individual are not necessarily dependent upon the gouty state . . . we cannot boast that our knowledge of the intimate nature of disease is sufficient to authorise such conclusions." He did not believe that gout was invariably hereditary. In an analysis of 523 of his own patients he could conclude an hereditary disposition in 309. Twenty years later Garrod repeated this analysis and reported that of his hospital patients 50 per cent were of hereditary origin; but among his private patients a convincing family history was produced in no less than 75 per cent. During the last twenty years Talbott has reported this finding in two-thirds of all his patients in Buffalo. Whilst recognising the importance of heredity, therefore, Scudamore believed that an additional precipitating factor was also necessary: "Such as agonising mental stress, or habits sufficiently intemperate to equal such a condition." He commented dryly of the late Prime Minister that: "The late Mr. Pitt and his father both suffered with the gout at an early period of life. The father was a votary of Bacchus; of the son this could not strictly be said; but he was an ardent student." Of the former he also remarked that "he had his existence embittered by the gout, and died of its effects." Writing of the age of onset of gout he reported that the first attack had occurred between the ages of twenty-five and forty in forty-four of sixty-four patients. He had personally seen no case occurring prior to puberty, an observation with which Garrod agreed; although Gairdner and Trousseau had each reported its occurrence in nurslings. Scudamore believed that gout .
