I was yesterday Consulted by your
Patient Collector Strang but as he had not time
to wait for my Advice he desired me to address it
by post to you.

His only ailment seems to be the tumours
on each Side of his Cheek and neck especially
on the left. I cannot be positive whether these
are Steatomatous or lymphatic but I hope the
latter as more capable of discussion which I
would attempt by the following remedies.

1 Let him take every morning two table
Spoonfuls of the Aperient Solution mix'd with
a mutckin or more of Spring water, taking it
at two ↑or↑ three draughts in the manner of a Mine¬
ral water. The dose should keep him to one
Stool every day and if it does either more or
less it should be diminished or increased and
this medicine is to be continued at least for ↓[a?]↓

2 Let him at the same time enter upon the
use of the Cicuta beginning with three grains of the
powder for a dose but increasing it daily till
it has had some sensible effects. To this pur¬
pose it may be taken twice a day and I need
not tell you what care is necessary to have the
powder in good condition.

3 Let his Cheek and Neck be bathed with the
discutient Solution (↑lotion↑) neither hot nor cold. He spoke
of some tumour under his Arm pit but he did
not give me time to examine it but if there
are any such let the lotion be applied there also
I think it enough either to one place or other
to apply it once a day. This patient is an
old acquaintance of mine and I am very anxious to do
him every Service in my power and therefore if you let
me know how he goes on and especially when any thing
new occurrs it will be very obliging to
