    (1789)


    No9. Elizabeth Gall at 24.

    This case in sever respects anal to last.

    Is also of that doubtful nature which cannot with certainty say whethr catarrh or phithis.

    But here also inclind to adopt formr & most fav opin.

    Espec also from state of pulse & regular of menses.

    For here it must be allowed age not in fav of patient.

    Is only in 24th year a period at which Phthis very common.

    But at same time not to be denied that then also Catarrh freq occurr.

    Here also as in formr case, led in some degree by ambig. have had recourse to modes of cure equally applic in Catarrh as in Phthis.

    But wishd at same time to vary pract.

    Accord have here had recourse to an Emet & to a Blister conv into issue.

    From latter is intent to [support] contin disch for some time.

    And former may accord to circum occasionally repeat.

    By these hope, that in no long time affect may take turn for better.

    But of both reserve observat, till again speak of case.
