Dr Heysham Concerning Mr Irwine
I am glad to find that Mr Irwine is at least no
worse - & that the swelling of his legs is abated &c
I do not think that any Mercurial preparation
can be safe for him; but more certainly Calomel
is very dangerous. ------
I wish you had told me any of the effects of
the Chalybeate or Solution.
