    DEP/DUA/1/16/25 (Normalised version)

    Walter McFarlane

    (1777-1778)


    With Walter McFarlane principle complaint which occurred was painful deglutition

    And this with out any local circumstance preventing swallowing or obvious inflammation to give pain.

    Concluded it therefore to be affection of peculiar sensibility.

    And with intention of remedying this put patient on electricity.

    For inclined to think that is no less a powerful agent in counteracting morbid sensibility than in restoring it when lost

    And whether theory with respect to that particular well founded or not practice at least answered expectations.

    For from continuation of this mode of cure without any other were in no long time able to dismiss patient free from affection.
