I beg your pardon for not
answering yours of the 5th. I was hurried for
a day or two & afterwards had to set out for Islay
at a minutes warning to visit my good freind
Mr Campbell I was sorry to find upon coming back
that I had missed the opportunity of seeing you at Glasgow.
You may believe Doctor that anything in my
power to serve you is gratefully at your Command
I am under numerous engagements for Oxford
but have found that of the many who have applied
numbers have altered their views so that I am
hopefull I may be able to serve your freinds and you
may depend upon everything I am capable of doing
You visited Mrs Whytlaw when at Glasgow and
delayed giving her full advice until you had
a letter from me. She is but lately a patient of
mine, and from every veiw I coud have of the case
I could have I coud not help considering it as Hysterical
I advised her to use exercise on horseback which she did
with some advantage. The weather however prevented her
from continuing it & she was hurt considerably by

She takes at night an anodyne equal parts of L.L.
and Spt Lav: C and occasionally a Laxative pill
for some months past she has been subject to violent
pains in the belly with reaching at the time of
menstruation these fitts have often left her low and
defeat for some days. She has set her mind upon
getting to the Country a Goat Whey expedition was
projected I expected as much good from from the exercise
as perhaps from the use of the Milk She had been
either used to bath or it had been proposed by Mr Parlane
I beleive she has not used the bath for a great while
nor did I think it proper in her present situation.

These Doctor are the hints I can give you I have been
short while employed & coud get to the knowledge & facts
only by second hand. She woud mention worms to you
Mrs Bannatyne gave the suggestion the common black
powders ¹ were used with no effect. I shall beg an answer
from you by your conveniency
