Mr John Hunter at Crooks -----
I am happy You are so greatly recovered & am happy in
the success of our last Prescription & I dare say I need not bid
you repeat as you find occasion. I am not surprised at the
running of your legs increasing, as I hope there is little more
to run out. For the pain of the wound; the lightness of the Skin,
the hardness below the Calf & the Swelling of the Ancle & foot, I
know no more proper remedies than those you are applying,
but still the most effectual means of relieving all these circum¬
[Page 2]
stances, is the keeping your legs & letting them hang as little as possible
& if you [dose?] the wound [that is?] will take your ↑the↑ water out of your
feet, as well as from the parts above. - It would perhaps soften
the Skin & ease your pain if instead of Turners Cerate you
apply the Saturnine Ointment which Mr. Johnston will supply
you with.
