For Mr Agnew of Scheuchan.
That he is no worse is even somewhat in his favor.
As the medicine I advised has done so little, need not conti¬
nue it, but at the same time any Costiveness should be
avoided & I know nothing better than the Solution advised
In tar water. I expect little from it, you expect much
& it is very innocent. I trust much to the Regimen advised
but he has not complied with every part of it as he has not
used a horse or a Carriage. & what is worse he's not
[Page 2]
avoiding wet feet. However if he do not get his feet
warmed wet it is necessary after walking to get them
dried & warmed, but this measure for this purpose is
exceeding & Nothing is more necessary than to put away
the damp stockings & shoes ------
I dont like mixing remedies, therefore will not advise
any during the Tar water. but after the use of this
for 2 or 3 weeks I shall be glad to hear from you
again.
