Though the Keysers pill has been if
service to you I have more than one reason for
thinking that they will not be [either?]
useful or safe for your Sister, I cannot
either think that she has any obstruction
of her liver, or that there is properly
any resemblance of your Case and hers.
Her complaints I have met with a hundred
times in the Sex, and have often found
them relieved by proper management
and particularly by riding either on
horseback or in a Carriage and therefore
if you are in a [train?] of exercise I have
formerly advised, you should continue
to let her join with you in the same.
At the same time let her take care

Vegetables. Let her take at the
[Page 2]
[sometimes?] {illeg} her belly be regular, and if
costiveness seems that she take a medicine
to relieve it.
Bitters may give some relief, but
there is no need of employing them. I give
you on the other page a prescription which
I hope will be of more service to her.
Wishing it hearty success I am
