Shuffling about feeling poorly

This must be just the sort of thing done by many others who have wandered about in the Lyceum, unable to live hidden in the Garden. I have been wondering quite which modern medicines will restore my temperament, reducing the prickliness and the swelling my lips. Modern writes such as Democritus Junior would ascribe it all to Melancholy, but how caused? And how cured with no hellebore in the apothecary's and only borage honey at the grocer's? Rest and antihistamine? or wandering about answering questions and antihistamine? The latter is the only available treatment, and the antihistamines seem to be missing melancholy, and its symptoms, notably the swellings. More questions and answers now.
