Reply 'For Mr Burrowes(?]) [Edward Burrow] at Port Glasgow',. Discusses continuing treatment to prevent kidney stone. Wild carrot seed has already been tried. but Cullen now advises taking lixivium disguised in a beef broth, for which he gives the recipe. A prescription for making up the Lixivium is mentioned as being enclosed but has not been transcribed. Mr Alexander Molyson [Molison] can make up the prescription. The annotation 'Fraser' at the close may have no connection with this letter but be the heading for a subsequent, but uncompleted entry in the case-book. | 14 March 1773 | |||
