CHAUSSIER
(Hector, 1769-1837, French Playwright, Writer and Doctor)
Autograph Letter Signed to Monsieur Siran about treatments for gout
saying he had given “a box at your address, containing several medicines. I will tell you how to use. 1° You will take a pill No. 1 in the evening and morning. You will take care to leave a distance of two hours and a half between the time you take this pill and the time you eat. 2° You will wash your legs and feet in the evening with the liquor contained in the bottle. 3° You will apply the plasters that I gave you to your knees and you will leave them until the skin is covered with small pimples that release a whitish humor. Then you will remove the plasters and wash the area with a light decoction of warm marshmallow. 4° If gout is felt, you will use an infusion of lime flowers and in a litre of this infusion you will dissolve one of the doses labelled herbal tea. 5° If the gout affects the shoulders, chest, or kidneys, you will bring back to the legs by washing them with schilitic vinegar in which sea salt has been dissolved. Please, Sir, to keep me informed of everything you experience. And when you write to me, I would be grateful to remind me what you have done. I also ask you not to be afraid to go into the most minute details about everything you experience, and to count on my accuracy and promptness in answering you...” written inside a printed letter headed “Gout Healing House”, 3 sides 4to., Rue St Lazare No. 56, Chaussée-d’Autin, Paris, no date, circa
