Mr George Hall.
Sir
I am much disappointed in finding your Complaints as bad as
ever but it is common for them to be obstinate, & therefore I do
not dispair of relieving them. -- On the other page I have given a
Prescription for which you'l please apply to Mr Gair & employ
the Medicine by his direction. - For this purpose I inclose
you a few lines to Mr G. -- I am &c.
Edinburgh August 26th. 26th. 1779
For Mr G. Hall.

Take one ounce and a half of Elixir proprietatis and half an ounce of Thebaic Tincture. Mix and label as Stomatic Drops. Fifty to be taken on a bit of sugar an hour before dinner, and sometimes may be repeated an hour after dinner when pains come on.
August 26. 1779.

NB. If elixir proprietatis vitriol of the Edinburgh Pharmacopoeia is available, this could be more simple to use than the [elixir I wanted?]
