almost certainly consisted of allopurinol and some kind of analgetic drugs which successfully killed the pain. It's sold in many drugstores in Bali. While allopurinol prevents chronic gout, it doesn't AllEVIATE nor it AGGRAVATE acute attack. In other words, it's useless for bout of gout.
This explains why the bunbury gal's old man felt healed by the Asam Urat. Sure its analgesic component made it.
