Reply, for 'Mr Kairnan'. Cullen believes Mr Kairnan's disease 'consists in a constricture of the great flexure of the colon'. Cullen recommends medicinal remedies, going to the country for some part of summer, gentle exercise, and drinking milk, but adds that the medicine 'does not require any particular diet' and that 'cold bathing does not seem to me proper'. | 4 May 1782 | |||
