Mr Lauchlan Campbellquery Mr --------
He suspect relics of a venereal disorder, but his
symptoms are slight & I think his suspicions groundless.
But to quiet his mind give a course for two or three
weeks of Corrosive sublimate
with Decoction of
Sarsaparilla &
Mezereon avoiding
letting the Mercury touch his
mouth
on account of the scorbutic taint there.
Milk & vegetables
diet.
