Reply with directions 'For Mr Sligo', whose complaints Cullen believes to arise from the stomach and bowels rather than the breast. He recommends a long journey, preferably on horseback, and gives detailed dietary advice along with a recipe for laxative pills and stomachic powders. No incoming letter traced so possibly directions given after a consultation visit. | July? 1775? | |||
