Ber[wick] March 13 1781

Dear sir


Our Patient Mr. Hogarth has
adherd to the Nervous Mixture since
you saw him, He has been so little
costive during its use, as never to
require the Aperient solution.


His Complaints in general have
not yielded much to the Course
yet, the Issue on his Head runs
very well, He feels the Giddiness
less, the oppression at his Breast
abated, but his spirits much the
same
, the wind in his stomach
and bad appetite rather encreased
He sleeps well in general, but in
the morning complains of a rag¬
ging as He calls it in the upper
Orifice of his stomach
which
is an old complaint and which
you attributed to flatus's or
Indigestion.


He sweats upon any exercise
or walking, therefore rides



[Page 2]

out every go[od] day, and is rather
in better spirits when He re¬
turns, and escapes the sweating.
As He told you, his spirits are
mostly worse
in the morning
til dinner, and his Diet the
same as you prescribed.
His Pulse is generally about 80
is never full or strong, and
upon any agitation flutters
If - you desire the same
Course to be persisted in --
your varying the mode
would be agreable, a People
of his Disposition tire so
soon of one form of Medicine
I shall be glad to hear from
you with your further Direc¬
tions while I have the pleasure
to be with much Esteem


your very obedient humble servant
