Reply, addressed to an unidentified practitioner, 'For Miss Stevenson'. Cullen enters into an unusual degree of speculation concerning the likely cause of a possible internal abcess, and cites post-mortem findings of other cases. He is also careful to state that his advice is to be shown to the patient's brother rather than her father. | 5 May 1776 | |||
