way of Change. his Colour & urine
still yellow a great ↑Granny↑ Scurf comes of
his Skin & several pustules full of
Yellow Sharp aerial matter which
makes little Ulcers & painfull. both
Ankles are [Surkd?] & so painfull that
I hope will prove the Gout. his face
some Days is swell'd & he Complains.

two or three Stools in 24 hours & better
Colourd. as to his thirst he has been
used to drink & still calls often for his
wine & water. he takes the pills constantly
