Normalized Text
Mr James Hutton at Torry burn.
It is possible that the fit of fever you had on Wednesday and
Thursday last may be of service in relieving you from the feve¬
rish fits you had formerly every night. If the present fe¬
verishness continue, I cannot advise without knowing the circum¬
stances more exactly. You must trust to somebody in Torry
burn or Dunfermling or make them write to me. If the fever
of Wednesday be quite off, & your Pulse quite settled in the
morning, you may take the Electuary & Tincture I formerly ad¬
vised but may take them 4 times aday. This with riding every
day will I hope restore you.
