Got the Gout? Read On...

In the Parish of Godstone [in Surrey County, England], about three miles from the village, at the foot of Tilburstow-Hill, is a small ale-house called the Iron Pear Tree. A person residing there sunk a well in the garden, the water of which was found to be unfit for common use; but it was said to have cured a man who drank of it, of the gout.
Great quantities of this water were sent to London where it was sold at the rate of sixpence a quart.
(From the book "The History of Surrey" by John Britton, London, 1844)

So, there you go. Got the Gout - stop by the Iron Pear Tree pub for a couple of pints. Ale or water - your choice.
Cheers,
Dave
