Mrs Pearson Concerning her D[aughter]

It gives me great pleasure to hear of my having
been of service to any of my patients and my auccess with
your Daughter is particularly agreeable.

Though her Cure is not quite compleat I have
no doubt that it will be so, for when the general health
is so much established as it now seems to be with
her I never miss to find the natural evacuation come
in a proper way and I dont doubt but you will
find it to be so with your Daughter against the
first of May next or perhaps sooner.

After such a long time of obstruction I find it
difficult to restore matters during the cold weather
of winter and I find during this time ↑that↑ our labour
both in medicines and other remedies is generally
lost and therefore I would not advise you
Daughter to have recourse to either before the
Month of March next. All that is to be done

till then is to avoid all vexation of mind or [flurried?] spiri[ts]
to avoid all irregularity of hours and manner of living,
guard carefully against cold but at the same time
give her what air and exercise particularly on hor[se]¬
back that the weather will admit of. I am concer¬
ned to find her costiveness still so obstinate but
a medicine must still be employed if the Pil. Rufi
answers well or better than any thing else I have no
objection to its being employed but I am strongly per¬
suaded that the Pill I formerly ordered would
answer every purpose as well.

When the month of March comes I would ad¬
vise your Daughter to enter upon a course of the
Powders &c. formerly prescribed and continue them
for at least a month. Since you can have conve¬
niency for the application of Electricity I would
have you begin to employ it about the end of
March next and continue to apply it ↑every day↑ for some ↓for weeks↓

weeks every day after. Let the shocks be thrown into
her back but determined to pass down through the limbs.
There is no occasion to render the shocks very violent
but they should be repeated several times as she can
bear them. These courses shall I hope do every thing
you can wish and at least I can suggest nothing
better at present. I perhaps should have said above
that if at any time Vomiting, Reaching or Nervous
fits should come on you must still have
recourse to Opium and I fancy your expe¬
rience has not sufficiently instructed you
in this matter. Please communicate all this with
my Compliments to Mr. Stamper and wishing you
heartily every good thing I am
