The Gout.

From the August 12, 1877 Brooklyn Daily Eagle:

“Christopher Tenney, aged 35, of No. 70 South Washington Square, New York, has been sick for several days with cholera morbus, and was also troubled with the gout. This morning he took a large dose of gout medicine in a mistake, and soon afterward died. Coroner Flanagan has been called to investigate the case.”
