Treatment
Previous Treatment:
Ongoing Treatment:Sloane previously prescribed unnamed "Conserve and Tea". Receipt that has done great cures given to Frere by "a Lady": spung [sponge?] burnt to ashes and sifted, then the amount the size of a shilling given in milk at specified intervals throughout the day.
Response:Sweating comes and goes. Wanted Sloane's opinion on receipt before she tried it, being "afaid to use any thing without your advise".
