---

N^o4th November 3. 1789

Jean Thomson at 48, complains of pain & distension of her stomach, with flatulency & indigestion. She is often also affected with headache & vertigo

She frequently rejects by vomiting fluid or light food, & she complains of much oppression & weight at her stomach when she takes solid animal food in any quantity.

Pulse [+] Heat natural, Appetite much impaired, Belly generally costive

Catamenia have ceased for five years past.

These complains have continued for many years, & during that time have gradually increased in severity.

A considerable time ago she got a severe fall, by which her breast was much hurt, & to this she is inclined to attribute, her present symptoms.

At the same time she received the hurt, she was blooded, & took several medicines for hysterical symptoms with which she was then affected but which are now entirely removed.

Of late, she has used no medicines.
