Glad to find him the better for my Prescription
& I think he may be the better for continuing both the
Mixture & Decoction for two weeks longer.- I have
no objection to his trying Harrowgate Water for a week
or two but he should not take it to purge him much
& if he shall find it to renew his itching he had better
let it alone & if after his journey he finds any return
of his Eruption let him again try some weeks his Julep
and Decoction
Notes:
1: This annotation has been Included in the transcription as it appears to be contemporary. It cross-references two earlier entries relating to the patient Mr Gallon (now Documents 4407 and 4457, which are linked to his case. .
