For Mr Rippengall


Glad you are better & you should therefore prersist in
the regimen I advised. You have done right in adjusting
the dose of the Laxative.


I hope your fear of jaundice is ill founded: I am
sure than neither the Diet nor Medicines advised can
have that effect. If you do actually find that you
have Jaundice, I must have more precise information.
before I can advise farther.
