Reply 'For Mr. James Waugh', who suffers from cough and looseness, which 'require immediate attention otherwise they will soon be beyond the reach of our skill'. Cullen recommends that he 'reside in the Country'. He advises on diet and exercise, and provides strengthening and anodyne prescriptions. The absence of a surviving incoming letter may suggest an Edinburgh consultation. | 3 February 1779 | |||
