Mr Walker Concerning Mr Thomson vid. p. 15 --
I am glad to find he has had an interval of some ease
which does not look like a Suppuration going on. -
Taking the matter as you view it as purely Rheumatic I am
clearly of opinion that the remedies I proposed in my last are
the best I can advise --- I am glad to find the .L.L.,
does not disagree with him & you will continue it as your discretion shall direct.
I hope he will also get and bear Asses or Mares milk. --
While the weather is mild he will be much the better of being
in the fresh air, but I dont expect he will be able to get useful↑any↑
benefit from walking & I would have get him on horseback or
into some other mode of gestation. If the pain of his side should
recur I would by all means advise the application of another Blister -
