DOC ID	Summary	Date
[DOC ID:2068]	Unsigned letter from Andrew Reid, giving his own case history, probably to his friend John Carmichael, whom he asks to 'lay my Case before one or two of the most eminent in Men in England & send me their opinion as soon as you can conveniently after arrival'. This is probably the account Carmichael presented to Cullen, to which Doc [ID:177] is the response. Reid became ill in Canton the previous September, with bilious and genito-urinary complaints. He has suffered from the clap. He has lived in India for thirteen years, and travelled to Italy last year. He encloses a sample of sediment from his urine for examination.	August 1781

[DOC ID:177]	Reply 'For Mr Reid', sent via John Carmichael, presumably to his medical practitioner in Italy. Cullen writes that the disease consists 'chiefly of a seminal weakness', and also a weakness of the neck of the bladder. He recommends the use of Uva Ursi 'which I suppose every Apothecary of Tuscany can furnish or procure for him'. Carmichael sent it on to Leghorn and thence to Trieste and Antwerp, after Mr Reid: see Doc [ID:2076] .	8 August 1781
