My Dear Sir
The Emetic operated
So violently that Mrs Brooke
had nearly expired under it
She was So convulsed that it
was Some time before She was
restored by hot Bricks to the
feet, and flannels diped in
Spirits applied to the Breast &c
She was better however the next
Day though So weak as to Decline
taking the powders untill
yesterday, when She took one in
the morning and another in
the evening without as yet any
effect, She had Some little fever
last night, in other respects She
is Certainly evidently better, her
vision has undergone a most
-
favorable Change and her
Spirits are much better, She will
take another powder this morning
She eats and Drinks as usual
you did not forbid the use
of Cold Drinks and She is
at a loss to know whether they
are improper - Yours F. Brooke
