I received yours last fridays Post, Mrs Grey has not begun her
Medicines as she expects to have her menses the begginning of this
so has put off taking any thing till thats over. - Mr Moodys Astma
is rather better but the heat & Quickness of his Pulse is come on
again as usual so that he has got very Little benefit to taking
the medicines you ordered for him, I have not yet begun the
bark Decoction on the account of the Quickness of his Pulse
but as soon as thats goen off shall make a tryal of it
in the mean time if you could direct any else to be
done, it would be agreable. -- Mrs [Ochil?] has taken
the Strengthening Tincture you ordered all last week but
it does not agree with her as she is very Sick after taking
it & uneasie in her stomach & her appetite for all kinds
of Victuals tho she has rode out on horseback every
day I imagined at first the Dose might be too
Large so ininstedstead of a Tea Spoonfull only gave
her half a Tea Spoonfull & at last tryed her in 30
Drops only but still complained it made her
uneasie; I tryed in her in a Glas of Hartfell Spaw
Water this morning which agreed very well with her
& sits quite easie on her stomach & ordered
her to take a Larger Quantity this afternoon
& shall continue to give it on as she can bear it
till I hear from you & if you would order any for

winter & seems to depend greatly on you

but to no great Degree he soon got better by
taking the [Lac?] Ammon Asmilk {illeg} & renewing
the Blister from the time he grew better untill
Sunday Last wek was about six weeks I heard
nothing from him I was then called to him
& found him worse than he ever had been
for 3 weeks he has had a severe Cough --
& especially when he goes to bed breaths
with some Difficulty has a Considerable heat
upon him & sweats profusely every morning
he kept up flesh & strength pretty well till of
Late the House he Lies in is very Damp
& I believe was the Cause of his Disorder
but I never cod get him to remove I am
much afraid that his Lungs are Obstructed
He drinks goat Whey at present Keeps his
blister open & is still liable to use Exercise

{illeg} years troubled in a [new?] [ma?] Disorder,
