Reply headed 'For Mrs Dent'. Advice and laxative prescriptions for Mrs Dent, whose 'Constitution must be considerably weakened' by her 'numerous Child bearings' and whose stomach ailments Cullen believes 'depend very much on what happens to the Sex at a certain period of life' (i.e. are primarily menopausal). He advises against the use of aloetics if she is still menstruating or has piles. The copy is poor in places.
