OP O.Henry in a story about confindence men in New York,
has an imposter claiming to be J.P.Morgan, wearing a towel
on one foot, claiming he has gout.
Either the confidence man or O.Henry was misinformed.
I never hear gout mentioned as an affliction of Morgan's,
but he did have "rhinophyma" a big red schnozzola, like that of W.C.Fields.
Signals over! I found a site that said J.P.Morgan also
had gout! The med school lecturer who told us about his
rhinophyma didn't mention that.
