Since September last. I began to Observe my makeing
Water much Oftner Than uswall, which increased more
frequent untill a few weeks ago.

When I am Out in Rains, & upon
wet grounds. I make water Oftner. Than when in
Dry weather. & Dry grounds. or when in The House
but I am Off Opinion That The pain which I sometimes
have in The small of my back. may have some
Conection with The Often making of Water.

Altho ↑in↑ making of waters I feell no sort of pain
wahtever. which makes me Think something
may be done for it in time. will you Therefore
bid Doctor Cullen know This. & also tell him. That all
The Other flying pains Thro my Body. are quite
removed & gone ever since I took the first mixture
The Doctor was so kind as send me a receipt for. The
Last receipt I got for my Appetite. I took it only for
8 days but did not find great Alteration. I gave it
over for some time. if my Health Continues better
by The End of Aprile I will go to London. as
I have given up my place. But before That time
if your hear of a good place. would rather come
to Scottland
