I am very glad to find that your stomach is now reco¬
vered & am confident the strength of your whole body will follow.
However you cannot expect it fast at this season. No
occasion to add to former prescriptions. With respect to former
complaints All I find occasion to say now is of the
Itch with which you have been lately & cc. By your account
I am persuaded, that it is not from any fault in your
blood but from Infection. This the case, I am confident
the ointment below will soon make you well & this without
internal medicines. Every Evening at going to bed rub the
bigness of a walnut on each hand. In the night time cover
them in linen bags & in the morn wash it off with
meal & water. To be repeated for several nights together when
the Itching will go away & the pustules deaden & dry up.
Commonly enough to anoint ↑the hands↑ to the wrists only but if
it goes off the hands & on some other parts apply the
ointment to these also During the use of it avoid cold
& keep somewhat warmer than usual Sweating in the morning.
does you no service & therefore proper to avoid them
