Summary
Writing that the details Edward Moulton-Barrett has provided of the symptoms that his daughters are experiencing confirms the doctor in his initial diagnosis; suggesting small changes in the dosages of quinine and tincture of valerian; recommending a cold shower bath for "Miss B" and exercise in the open air, particularly riding, for all the sisters; concluding that he believes this will cure them of their "harrassing malady" but if they do not improve, suggesting an "entire change of air"; recommending also the use of "a tight flannel roller around the abdomen by day only."
