The text reads as follows: "P.S. not making the remedy up myself for some time I substituted on paper the Rhubarb for the Calomel. It would do no harm but I fear the remedy thus transmuted would do no good it is as follows Take of Resin of Jalap + of Rhubarb six or eight grains of Calomel and of Quinine each four grains. Mix etc. D. Livingstone The whole may be given at once if the patient is difficult to be moved. If not 10-15 or 20 gr[ain]s or one two or three pills.", undated.
