Dr Dunglison presents his respectful salutations to Mr. Madison, & would wish the Servant with the swelled neck to take 10 drops of the Tincture in the phial, twice a day, in a little sugared water, until the whole is consumed, when the Doctor would be glad to know whether the tumor is diminished by its use. Should symptoms of cholera morbus arise during the administration of the medicine, it...

When I had the pleasure of visiting Montpellier last year, I promised Mr. Payne to send him some vaccine matter so soon as I could obtain any: the inclosed is the first I have been able to recommend: you will oblige me by placing it in his hands.
