Our patient Mr. Thos. Smith has continued
in much the same state he was in when you saw him
at times Consistant, then in a few Minutes, quite incoherent
His pulse, Appetite, and state of the bowels perfectly
good, he at times refuses the tartar solubil, and the
Camphorted pills difficult at times to persuade him
to take- As he has a good Appetite it is frequently dif¬
ficult to prevent him from taking more than he should
do. He sleeps as well as ever, and as he is Naturally fond
of Walking he is indulged in it. On the Whole he
is status quo as you left him if you think of
any other Mode to try begs you'll Advise in Course
which will Oblige
Dear Sir
Your Most Obedient Humble Servant
