Ann Braidwood

1783

---

N^o8 November 20^th 1783.

Ann Braidwood, at 8, has an eruption of small red coloured & somewhat prominent spots, which appear in clusters & have at different times affected her whole body, her face only excepted. After these spots have continued for two or three weeks, whitish scales are formed on their surface, & if the spots be very large & numerous, they break into fissures which never discharge any humour.

This affection first made its appearance about the ankles & the extremities are still the parts principally affected. The eruption is considerably diminished since she began to apply the Unguent Citrinum & to take crude Antimony

Her disease is of more than 12 months duration, but it has been particularly violent of late.
