Reply, for 'Mr Macdougal Dunollan'. The letter is addressed to Mr Macdougal, who appears to possess medical knowledge, and concerns his brother. Cullen describes the patient's fits as 'of the Epileptic kind', but states that he will need to see the progression of the disease before deciding on the best course of treatment. In the meantime, he suggests 'reducing every circumstance of a plethoric state'. | 9 November 1782 | |||
