The ailment in Mrs Wyvills breast had formerly
a very untoward appearance, but since the discharge
from about the Nipple has come on, it seems to be in a much
better way, the pains are relieved the hardness is in part
dissolved, and the rest seems to follow the same Course.
We are therefore in hopes, that the whole ailment may
in time be discussed and for favouring this, we propose
the following measures

1. Let the places excoriated be dressed with the Linim¬
entum Album spread on a bit of linnen, twice a day.
If this melts and runs off, so as to allow the Cloth to
stick in the parts, you must apply a Cloth dipped in
the Ceratum Album. - If the parts should become more
tender and inflamed, you must anoint them with a
fourth part of Ungt. Saturninum to three parts
of the Linimentum Album. If this proportion of

2. These directions proceed upon the Supposition that no
Pultice is applied, and at present we are of opinion, that its
application may be delayed, while the discharge about the
Nipple continues to dissolve the hardness, and while the Excori¬
ation does not spread. But if the Excoriation spreads or be¬
comes more inflamed, let a Carrot Pultice be applied. It is
to be made by grating down some fresh Carrot and putting
that into a wooden or Marble Mortar. Let it ↑be↑ well rubb
bruised with a timber pestle till it is a smooth Pastl
pulp, adding a little water to it if necessary, to make it of
a soft consistence. Let a Pultice of this be applied round the
Nipple, so as to cover the whole of the excoriated part and -
let the Pultice be changed twice a day. At first ↑it↑ will not be
necessary to add anything to this Pultice, but if it should
happen that the breast or sores should become painful, a
small quantity of the fresh leaves of the Cicuta, boiled till
they are soft and tender may be pounded with the Carrot, or
if the fresh leaves are not to be had, a small quantity of the
powder may be used for the same purpose.

3. While these applications are made, Mrs Wyvill should
continue the use of the Hemlock inwardly. While the fresh
leaves are to be got, we think she takes it very properly
but we are of opinion that she does not take quite enough
and we would wish her to increase the Dose gradually
till she finds it affect her head and nerves a little with
some giddiness and Tremor. --- The fresh leaves will
do for some time; but when the plants grow rank and
proceed to flower, they grow much weaker and at last
become quite inert. -- It will be necessary therefore
to prepare a quantity of the leaves dried, so as to be
used in Powder. - Here follows the method of pre¬
paring the dried leaves ---

She is to begin with a small Dose, of not more
than two (↑five↑) grains twice a day, and increasing the Dose
by five grains every day till it affects her head.
Even after the Dose affects her head it will by repetition
fail to Do so; and if it does {illeg} she should again
increase it till it does affect her head &c.

4. Mrs Wyvill should still continue to {illeg}take the
Malt Infusion every day, and if it keep her belly regu¬
lar it is the fittest Medicine for this purpose she can
employ, but if it fails to do this, she must employ
some other Medicine, so as to give her one stool every
day and for this purpose she may take Magnesia
Flowers of Sulphur or Cream of Tartar. ---

These should keep her belly regular to one Stool
a day, but it may be proper ↑once a week↑ to go a little further
by giving a table Spoonful or two of the Medici[ne]
prescribed on the part paper apart. To be taken i[n]
ahalf a pint or more of new drawn Cow milk Whe[y.]
On the days she takes this she should omit
the Malt Infusion.
