Letter 'For Mr Charles Gordons Children'. Cullen says they 'have so much the appearance of health, that I think nothing can be done to mend it', but since 'the very best can be spoiled' he gives recommendations to ensure their good health continues - 'I see very few Parents who are sufficiently on their gaurd [sic.] in this respect'. The greatest fault of parents, as Cullen sees it, is indulgence, and his recommendations are largely concerned with dietary restrictions. | May? 1782? | |||
