Craik, a
regimental surgeon, advises: "I wish you could procure some Cathartic
salts. The Regimental surgeons complain greatly for want of them....
You may engage any quantity at the salt works in the Jersies."

May 15. On May 2, Craik advises that "the medicine chests are much
wanted in the Regiments. Doctr. Cutting had best have them filled up
as soon as possible to prevent complaints." On May 15 Craik commented:
"I am sorry Doctr. Cutting went away before the Regiment Chests were
finished; there is great clamour about them tho Doctr. Layman is as
busy as possible.... I hope Doctr. Craig[ie] will soon have his chests
ready."

Transcriber's Notes:
The marker for footnote 3 is missing, but it appears to belong after
"of the _Lititz Pharmacopoeia_ of 1778."
In footnote 15 I corrected a typo, Pennslyvania for Pennsylvania
On page 115 I removed an extra quotation mark
(purchasing such medicines "as)
On page 118 I corrected a typo, capitivity for captivity
(happily delivered from his late capitivity)
On page 118 I removed an extra quotation mark
(will turn to good Account.")
On page 120 I corrected a typo, enitrely for entirely
(one half the load is enitrely)
On page 128 I corrected a typo, mediicines for medicines
(Invoice of a Chest of mediicines)
On page 129 I corrected a typo, quandrupled for quadrupled
(price more than quandrupled)
On page 133 I corrected a typo, instument for instrument
(Tooth-drawing instument)
These words occur both ways in the text and I have not changed them:
Bowly and Bowley, Barnabas and Barnabus
