Mr R. Wallace Concerning Mr Napier
I could discern some fulmess in Mr Napiers skin when he
was here but I expected that the Mezereon could throw it all out. I fancy he did
not use the decoction very long; however I have no objection to sea bathing
& I would have him try that before the Season passes &
with the sea bathing
he may drink a little of the sea water - If these measures do not
answer I would have him try the Mezereon again, and let care be taken
to have it good.
I am concerned for Mr A. Robertson & the more so that it is
difficult to relieve him. The Uva Ursi does not always succeed
but I have found it of great benefit in some cases.
