Drug aiming to eliminate the onset of gout (7)
I believe the answer is:
aspirin
'drug' is the definition.
(aspirin is a kind of drug)
I don't understand how the rest of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for aspirin that I've seen before include "Anodyne" , "Analgesic compound" , "Headache killer?" , "Headache pill" , "Common drug in Paris" .)
