The Lady who not long since applied for Dr.
Cullen's advice thro' Mr. Hagart - has taken the
medecines he prescribed - but has not found any
benefit from them - The pain in her stomach
a few days ago, was greatly worse, but now if
continues much the same as when she wrote
last - All the symptoms of her disorder
are the same, except that lately, she is very
short breathed going up stairs - & feels a great
hardness in her stomach - She is about 21 years
of Age, and of a very healthy constitution in
general - She hopes Dr. Cullen will consider
her case farther - and that he will think of
some other medecines to remove the complaint
