Treatment
Previous Treatment:
Ongoing Treatment:She was taking Bath water instead of the German spa water (which she had stopped) because it caused pain. Dr. Bare ordered a bitter infusion and asked her to return to Bath. Trying to complete business at home to comply with his orders.
Response:Thanked Sloane for his care of her and her daughter's health. Arrived at Walcote a week before and travelled better than expected. Had some return of pain, but not for long.
