My much esteemed Friend & Benefactor Mr Henry
{illeg} Presbyterian Minister in Comber Aged 50
About 9 Months Since (his Horse stumbling but not
falling) received a Sprain in the Small of his
Back at the same time he had severe pain in
the Inner & upper Parts of his Thighs as I think in
the Adductor Muscles - attended with pain in the
Penis Rectraction of the Testicles & Difficulty in passing
his Urine which was high coloured & deposited
a Reddish Sediment. This Complaint abated for a
time but has recurred at several Periods Since
The pain is chiefly felt in the Region of the Kidneys
Ureters Testicle & Penis- & is by him wholly
Imputed to the Fall or Stumble above mentioned
for I now recollect the Horse fell to his Knees- Mr
Henry has allways lived temperately is neither
corpulent nor lean. has been much subject to
Rheumatism for 15 years wch had nigh proved
fatal 10 years ago- he has perhaps been too much
in Bed & is rather liable to Turns of Spleen

✍
Reverend Mr Henry
May. 6th 1779.
Answer -
His complaints arise from
a Stone lodged in the Ureter
which has been pushed
down from the Pelvis of
the Kidney by the Stumble
of his Horse
The Remedy likely to
be of service is Uva ursi
in sufficient quantity
