It gives me a great deal of concern to hear of any
thing amiss with Lintrose, but I hope this is more alarming
than dangerous and we shall get him out of this as of his former ail¬
ments. Your blister was certainly well timed but tho the Symp¬
toms should seem now to be discussed or abated I think you must
not be of your guard & we should take every precaution against an ailment
that may return. As soon as your blister is healed I would put a
Seton into his neck. I would have him use the flesh brush every
night & morning over his whole body but especially to his right arme
If any numbness or lameness should remain in it I would apply mus¬
tard between the elbow & wrist. The best is just mustard as made
for the table. With that the arm may be smeared & as soon as it
becomes painful which is commonly in less than an hour it is
to be carefully washed of, with warm milk & water. This application
may be repeated every day or other day according to the inflamma¬
tion excited. When it inflames much the repeated applications
will soon blister. From what I have seen before of Mr Murray's
constitution I think there is reason to suspect that this ailment
depends on an effusion Serum & that his recovery will depend
upon drawing that of by Purgatives & Diurectics. Twice of week
I would give him such a dose of Jalop & Calomel as he will easily
bear. In the Intervals [harm?] not ply the squill pills & [experient?]
mixture & as soon as the Millipedae are to be had let him take
full doses of the Vinum millepedatum as formerly advised.
His disease is still the same tho appearing in a difft place.
