With regard to disease of this patient some particular concern which much at a loss.

This especially case with respect to pain of breast.

Nothing indeed uncommon either in pain itself, increased severity during night, nor in aggravation at uncertain periods.

But in concomitant affection with which these attended, had set of symptoms [rather] uncommon.

For when pain very severe was we are told attended with dimness of sight vertigo tinnitus aurium & flushing of [face]

Such an assembly of symptoms do not recollect to have met with in my own practice.

Imagine however that from farther attendance to progress of disease, should be able to form better judgement of them

And particularly how far representation well founded.

Besides this had evident catarrhal symptoms.

And as affection wholly ascribed to cold thought first of directing attention to there.

Was on this account that prescribed mucilage mixture & application of blister to his side.

To latter of these practices however found at next report that had not had recourse.

And while from mucilage mixture relief of cough, were also told that all other symptoms much easier.

In this situation reckoned it sufficient to order continuation of it.

And as after that patient never returned to the Dispensary can say nothing of that part of complaint which alone considered as meriting peculiar attention.
