For Mr George Dunbar.
His case certainly gouty.
The bleeding ↑&
blistering↑ should
be little employed. for to
pains certainly gouty
any where in the
extremities nothing but plenty
of flannel. Wherever the gout is certain in the
extremities nothing to be applied but flannel
but if the pain &c. continues in
the head leeches a
blistering may be employed with discretion.
The mixture & laxative still proper.
