For Mr Shepperd
Sorry his ailments so obstinate. Not surprised however, as they depend on
an Atrabilarian temperament not easy changed. Riding on horseback better
than all medicines. Make him ride more diligently than hitherto. -- The only
other thing is the Decoctum Lignor. a bottle every day for a month. The Decoction
should be only half as strong as ordered in Ph. Ed. 1
