Summary:
Thanks for turkey. Pleased Smith's complaint is reducing but his measures not energetic enough; recommends 40 drops of laudanum a day, to add carbonate of ammonia to his camomile tea and tincture of 'Gentiana', to eat as much meat as possible, and to drink Bristol water, for several years.
