Doct Carmichael

We have a woman that has been
sick for 3 weeks with chills & fevers, some-
times the chills amount to agues & high fevers
sometimes they are slight, we have given her
several doses of calomel one dose of tartar
& a good of of bark & stimulants, she
still has fevers, but they are not so high
she complains very much of weakness, & has
no appetite. Will you be so good as to
send by our brother directions what we had
better do with her, & also what medicine
you may think proper. She complained &
still has a headach when she has a fever
but not, when the fever is off.

With good wishes for you & yours
Your friend

Elizabeth Gordon
