N^o15. June 11^th. 1784

Christ Geddes. at 50 complains of great thirst & want of appetite which are accompanied with loss of strength & as she expresses it a wearied soreness over her whole body.

Pulse 80. Heat natural.

The present symptoms first attacked her about three weeks ago, at which time the most obvious symptom was a great pain in the abdomen. Soon after a looseness appeared & has continued ever since. It was attended at first with severe gripes, & some tenesmus, but these symptoms have now left her. The matter discharged is without any bloody appearance, but it is often somewhat, of a greenish cast.

No cause can be assigned for the above complaints. She has taken a vomit, & two pills but does not know of what [they] were composed, & has had no advice from any regular practitioner.
