Treatment
Previous Treatment:
Had previous treatment from Sloane when she first arrived in Bristol, but wanted to observe the treatment before writing.
Ongoing Treatment:Had been taking waters for two weeks and doing a purging treatment.
Response:No alteration, despite waters. Difficult to judge her health because it has been fluctuating. Stopped purging because she was getting haemorrhoids. Wanted to try full force of waters, if Sloane would consent.
