[ID:3388] From: Major Stuart McEwan (MacEwan, Macewan) / To: Dr William Cullen (Professor Cullen) / Regarding: Major Stuart McEwan (MacEwan, Macewan) (Patient) / 20 August 1788 / (Incoming)
Letter from S. McEuen in Nairn, concerning his own case of urinary stricture. He has consulted a surgeon 'in this place' (this will be Robert Forbes) to little avail. He has also consulted Alexander Wood in Edinburgh: he prescribed him bougies. He differentiates between red and black bougies, and seems to find the red ones work better for him.
