From a regular Course of your Method prescribed
to Miss Margt. Russell of Newbottle I can with
pleasure Inform you of its good effects, she has
persevered strictly to the directions given her
having continued Sea Bathing till the beginning
of October and from the Weather being cold at
that time she left it off, The Aperient Solution
by its cooling and opening quality has in a
great degree corrected and Discharged those
acrid humours which affected her Cheek and
other parts. I thought it therefore adviseable
to apply digestives to the Ulcers to make them
Suppurate a little, and bring forward a Fungus
that the Cavity and hollow parts might be
filled up, which had a good effect, the
ulcer in the Axilla is now quite healed,
after they had digested well the Fungus was
effectually healed by a gentle ↑(touch)↑ of the Vitriol:
Cerul: and a Plaister of Cer: Epulot: above, and
the Dressing from the Peccant humours being
discharged and her Constitution Improved.
I flatter my self she will in a little time
be perfectly recover'd, she is now very lively
her Appetite good and her whole Muscular
Frame is in a firm and Elastic Tone.

we shall persevere in your Method still further
and hope to give you occasionally a more favourable
account. Mr Russell begs his Compliments to you

In conformity with your very Friendly
Letter to me of the 30th. Sepbr I send you as above
Mr Kearsleys Accot & particulars of my little Daughters
progress, which leaves me little to say about her
only youl please to observe there is yet something
wanting to restore her to a former Health & vigour
the little Lumps not more than the size of a Pea
under her Arm is not quite subsided yet I hope
