Report, written by a 56 year old Frenchman (Cousritter?), about the cure of the gout through the consumption of strawberries. The author details his own illness and asks Linnaeus for advice on how exactly to treat gout with strawberries.
The author had clearly read the dissertation "Fraga vesca" published in 1772 (defendent Sven Anders Hedin), on the medical usefulness of strawberries ("Fragaria vesca L.") in the treatment of gout, based largely on Linnaeus' favorable findings when so treating himself in the summers of 1750 and 1751.
