Dear Sir,
Fifteen Grains of Dover's Powders
always made Mr Wallis perspire very
freely for thirteen or fourteen Hours, and
he says that he never found the least
alteration in the Pain in his Head either
prior to or during the Operation of the
Medicine - He has an Issue in his
Neck, which discharges very well and
he has again taken the Powders and Infu¬
sion, as also 15 Grains of Pulvis Jalapi compositus
according to your Directions, which moves
him twice or thrice, but I am sorry to add
without any Relief - He is very anxious for
your further Advice, which will be very ac¬
ceptable to him and
your obedient humble servant
