Robert Davie

(1779-1780)

---

Use viz of Calx of Zinc in form of ointment

With this indeed conjoined Salt polychrest

But merely with intention of keeping belly gently open & thus preventing inconvenience that might occur to [illegible ] discharge.

Can have no doubt then in attributing cure which happened soon after last spoke of case, to the application of Zinc
