Mrs. Hyslop
I am favoured with yours as I expected
and am sorry to find Mrs. Hyslops complaint
so very obstinate. I cannot urge either bleeding
or blistering any further, nor have I any thing
else to propose with any probability of success
and if any relief is to be expected it is from
the progress of her pregnancy.
I think you have now likewise tried
the Laudanum very fairly and considering
the effects of it and her aversion to it I
think you can go no further and I must la[y]
it entirely to your discretion to judge wheth[er]
upon some occasions of unusually violent
pain you may {illeg} try to give her [some relief?]
by a pretty large dose. I am
Sir
Your most Obedient servant
