I have considered the full and distinct
account of her case now received and am sorry
to observe that the disease is now so far advanced
as to leave little hopes of relief from medicine
and I say this more readily as I am persua¬
ded that every remedy that could have been
proposed has been already employed. The only
thing I can observe on this subject is, that there
is no mention of the employment of Air and
Exercise, tho I am persuaded it has not
been omitted and will be continued as far
as her Strength will allow. Her regimen
otherwise seems to be very well ordered. The ani¬
mal food and Porter I should not have advised
at a more early period of the disease but
at the present period I believe may [be?]
very allowable and even necessary
