Agreeable to your last order, I began a
Course of the Chalybeate & infusion, in which I had
advanced nearly through, the third week, when a
slight cold & sore throat obliged me to leave it off.
I do not find myself any better from the tryall
I have made, I have not indeed had any return
of the piles since, but my other complaints are
the same as when I wrote you last -- If you can
recolect, I was telling you when in Edin..r that
I had often been troubled with a giddiness in
my head, this complaint I was seldom troubled
with during the Summer, but it is lately
returned with as much violence as ever, it for
the most part begins with a working of what
I take to be wind in my Stomach & Bowells
flyes up to my head occasions a giddiness &
faintishness, tremor, extream feeblisness in my
knees, that I am scarse able to Support my
self. in short every thing at these times seems
to be in motion, & I think every moment
will be my last, with a variety of other dis¬
agreeable sensations, which ↑you will↑ be ↑better↑ able to imagine
than I can describe ---

The Weather has been so very changeable of
late, that not with standing my greatest
care, I often get slight colds, which does me
no service upon the whole I do not find
myself so well as I was in the latter part of
the Summer, & altho I had many months
of better health then, than I had had for
near twelve months before, yet I recovered
no part of that great quantity of beef I
had lost, which makes me think the cause
has never yet been removed, as I am nat¬
urally inclined to be fat, my complection was
become greatly better, but is now again
what it was last winter rather - sallow

I do not think my strength has decreased
in proportion to my flesh, as I find myself
nearly able to undergo as much fatigue as
when in good health - my appetite is not
so good as it was -- neither do I rest so well
at night, my sleep is often disturbed with
dreams & I find myself always sick & dis¬
ordered when I first awake in the morning. ---
T.O

I purpose to give the Chalybeate & infusion
another tryal to the extent of the your last
order, provided you do not think of something
that may answer the purpose better, when
you order more than one powder to be
take in the fore or afternoon, do you
mean they shall be taken together or
at different times? -- -- You see I make
use of the Latitude you gave me in
writing, I am afraid I shall become a
troublesome correspondent, but youl
pardon me, long used to good health
I am anxious to get the better of this
disagreeable complaints which entire[ly]
disqualifies me for every kind of
business. -- I find myself often inclined to low
spirits which I strive against as much as
possible -- let me hear from you with your
conveniency-
