As III [Roddie Minor].
Object: Health.
Operation: p.v.n.[2] Eth2O [Ether]. An operation marvellous good in all ways, with the Elixir superb in strength and sweetness.
On 1 Nov. my urine showed heavy albumen, many hyaline and granular casts, pus, protein, etc. Doctor called the condition extremely serious. Another examination on 8 Dec. showed much reduced albumen (50%: from 3.3 to 1.5 [grams percent]), no granular casts, few hyaline. No pus. No protein.
