DOC ID	Summary	Date
[DOC ID:5737]	Reply [to unnamed practitioner concerning the case of Mrs Geils, of Greenock, who suffers from nervous, stomach and rheumatic complaints. Cullen ascribes them to her being a native of the East Indies, and therefore not adjusted to the cold and damp of the West of Scotland. He provides strengthening prescriptions and offers general dietary advice, adding: 'I forgot to say above that the most part of East Indians use high seasonings too largely. I would not bid Mrs. Geils to quit her habits entirely, but must say that very much of these high seasonings hurt the tone of the stomach very much'.	16 October 1788
