[ID:4747] From: Dr William Cullen (Professor Cullen) / To: Mr Arthur Gair / Regarding: Mr Arthur Gair (Patient) / 20 November 1783 / (Outgoing)
Reply, for 'Mr. Arthur Gair'. Cullen remembers him and his son (a former pupil) so will treat him without charge. He believes his ailments are the result of gout not travelling properly to the extremities, so prescribed a medicine 'I have found most effectual for determining the Gout to the extremities and relieving the internal parts'. The prescription is in Cullen's own hand.
