Note: Henry Richardson, Surgeon Superintendent of the Lord Raglan, made this entry in his Journal:Sunday, April 8 [1860] One of the children, a baby six months old [Anna Stickland], has been very ill and its mother Mrs Strickland (sic) has been in great distress about it having lost three of her children when about the same age and in a similar manner. My idea was that the child suffered from obstruction of the bowels and I recommended castor oil, a warm bath and hot fomentations which seem to have had a very beneficial effect. |
