Letter 2489

[fol. 121] Sir, These two Days past Mrs Gray has had Griping Stools, about 3 times in a day. They are attended with Faintness. Nevertheless she is pretty hearty on the Days of Intermission. Her Stomack retains every thing she takes better than it did. Which I take to be a good token. But if her Loseness continues or encreases, I presume it will be of bad consequence. I have ventur’d to order Burnt Harts-horn Decoction with Cinnamon: and thought of an Astringent Clyster, to prevent farther danger; but have not order’d it yet. This is all the Account I can give at present of her. In the mean time wait to know, whether yu approve of such a Clyster, or will think of another Method. I with any may be found effectual. If you’le be pleas’d to assist farther in this Affair, you’le very much oblige Mr Gray and Me Your humble serv’t Samuel Dwight
