Letter from John Short concerning the case of John Key, whom he is treating for a consumptive condition. Short describes Key as 'a young man of great spirit' who 'holds all these pulmonic complaints but in a triffling view in comparison to his supposed Venereal taint', to which he attributes his leg pains. Short is seeking Cullen's advice on Key's behalf, as to whether he should take a mercury course. | 29 January 1778 | |||
