There seems to have been & there still is a
great deal of humour in Miss Thomsons blood but
I hope it may be corrected and drawn out & in the
mean time as long as she keeps free of complaints
in her breast there will be no danger. The measures
I would propose for releasing her are the following

1 Let her drink every morning at several draughts
a pint of Spring water in which is put a table
spoonful of the aperient solution A on the paper
apart. When she has thus taken a pint of this
water for a week she may if her stomach bears
it well increase it to a pint & a half & after three
or four days more increase it to a quart & at this
rate continue to take it for 3 or 4 weeks. She may
take half a pint for a draught & leave half an hour
between every draught so as to finish the whole
[however?] about half an hour or an hour before
Breakfast.

2 Every day about 12 oClock & again

2 Let her Sores be dressed every second day with
the detergent Ointment marked C and on the inter¬
veening days let them be dressed with Turners Cerate
and on the same interveening days before dressing
let them be washed with the healing solution D.
With respect to these dressings let a Surgeon observe
if the detergent ointment seems to give pain or seems
to excite any inflammation let it be employed only
every third or fourth day but if it seems to produce
a better pus on the sores I would still employ it every
second day thought it should seem to raise some
inflammation but I must leave this to the discretion
of a Surgeon who sees the Sores pretty frequently &
it must be left to the same person to judge when this
Ointment should be laid aside altogether. With
respect to the Solution let it be observed that if it

4th. During the use of these medicines let her diet
be at Dinner be of Broth a little light animal food
with some pudding & Vegetables. At Breakfast &
Supper she should take some kind of milk meat
but at Breakfast if she is very fond of it she may
have Tea with dry toast & butter providing always
that her Tea is very weak & the quantity of Butter
upon her bread very moderate.

Her drink at all times should be plain
spring water but after Dinner every day she
may have a small glass of white Port or any other
wine she likes.

5th. Let her take a great deal of care to avoid cold
but every forenoon that is tolerably fair she may
be much the better of Riding on horseback two,
or three hours
