The Reverend Mr Monro of Kinloss
I have seen your letter of the 27th [August?] & am
sorry to find Mr. Monro's case so very bad & very little
room for my advice in it. The event must turn much upon
the effect of the fever which has been so considerable of late; but
there is no advising at a distance in a case that many be chang¬
ing daily. If the remissions are very considerable, I should
have no objections to your giving the Bark, but I think it
does no service in small quantities & if you give it large
by a trial or two will determine the propriety of employ¬
ing it. I think you have blistered enough & I should now do
nothing more in that way than keeping the issue on his hand
head open. I think there is nothing more likely to be of
service to him than moderate purging which while his Fe¬
verishfits continue should be by cooling Laxatives.
Wishing you heartily success. --
