Incomplete directions for an unnamed adult male patient who has suffered from giddiness but has regular bowels. Cullen recommends that he shave and blister his head, and try sea-bathing at Holy Island (possibly Lindisfarne) after 1 June. He also tells the patient that he has ordered a bathing machine for him. Last pages, which include a Cephalic Electuary recipe, are missing from the letter. | 1775? | |||
