Reply headed, 'Case of Lady G__ C___', amended to 'Grace Campbell' by a later hand. She had suffered from rheumatism, which grew worse after an injury to her leg; the leg became partially paralysed, and the paralysis spread to the whole of one side of her body, except her face. She also suffered from 'fits of violent head-ach' during the night. Blistering has helped partially, as has electricity. | June? 1782? | |||
