I ordered has been so powerful. It will be proper to
intermitt the use of it for some time, especially if some
very warm weather should return. It will however
be advisable to have some of the Medicine by
you, to be taken either in case of any return
of the complaints or at any rate upon the Seasons
becoming colder. - In the Mean time mind

all your other directions.
For Mr Harkness.
