I am heartily concerned to find this Ladys ailment
so very obstinate, and I find it very difficult to give her
relief, as so many promising remedies have been ↑already↑ employed
with little effect. I formerly desired to know the
manner in which Electricity was employed and with
what particular effect, but however it formerly turned
out I would desire it to be again tried, the Shocks
to be only driven through the contracted and pained
part of the foot. If these employed twice a day ↑for several days↑ do no
service I would apply a Plaister of table mustard
to the part, and to let it lie on till it has inflamed
the skin very much, and if one application does
not answer I would after some days when the
first inflammation has somewhat ceased make a
Second, and if it blisters the part, it will probably
be of the greater service. Let it be observed that

what I mean by table mustard, is, the best flour of mustard
mixed up with Vinegar and Salt, as ordinarily for the
table, and in that condition allowed to stand for two
three days before it is applied to Mrs Forsyths foot.
