Previous Treatment:
Sloane had prescribed an unnamed treatment for deterioration of the man's sight, bloody urine, pain in the belly, "stiches in his heart," trouble sleeping and lack of appetite.
Ongoing Treatment:Sloane's prescription noted repeated bleeding.
Response:The gentleman felt much better. He was free of pain and his sight was returning. He was also able to urinate without bleeding and pain. The gentleman would return to town in the Spring and wanted to know if he should continue his treatment until then.
