Treatment
Previous Treatment:
Ongoing Treatment:Sloane presribed an unnamed treatment for Getting but Derby could not put it in to practice right away because he had just had Getting bled heavily and had given him "Antimonial preparations by stealth."
Response:Derby cannot say if the treatment will have a lasting effect but noted that Getting had been working in the garden and seems well.
