Dr Gilchrist Concerning Mrs Gordon
[Plainly?] some visceral obstruction or congestion but do not pretend
to determine the part affected. I think it unnecessary both because
much does not depend on the parts more particularly affected & because
wherever it be, does not ↑seem to↑ threaten much danger. & lastly because
it seems to yield to your remedies. I could not have thought of any
thing more powerful or promising than what you have employed & would
be imprudent in me to interrupt your course when I have no¬
thing better to offer. Persist then as you have begun. &
let me know the progress & effects.
