  Age:
• Description

  f. 148 is a report on Cleese's condition and physical symptoms.

• Diagnosis

  Gout and unknown swelling.

• Treatment
  Previous Treatment:

  (See Sloane MS 4075, ff. 136-140, 146.)

  
  Ongoing Treatment:

  f. 147 is Findlater's comments. He noted that Cleese continued following Sloane's directions. This included vomits and purges.

  
  Response:

  Sloane's prescription seemed to help the goutish pains, although the swellings in his foot and reddish legs continued. They wondered if purging should be stopped. Since the gout, the swelling in his body and belly went, but had worsened in his thighs, legs and foot. His stomach bore the vomits, which helped his breathing. The urine quantity was sufficient, but high-coloured.
