To Dr Wemyss Concerning Mr Spiers

been doing. I am sorry the Issues are tsopped stopped; but
if he continues to recover I would not renew them, but if
he grows worse or is longer of getting better than he
should they may be renewed & put farther down behind
his shoulders where you can apply the necessary compression with
more freedom --
