43.)"The excitement of Mr. Dimmesdale’s feelings, as he returned from his interview with Hester, lent him unaccustomed physical energy, and hurried him townward at a rapid pace."
Hester being Dimmesdales medicine has instantly made him feel better. He has gained a physical energy that he has been struggling with for so long. Before he could barely walk up steps and now he is running back into town. I think the true medicine she has given him is hope. His condition was worsening as he hid his secrets from the people in his society but now that there is hope that he can be with his family and live outside of this judgmental society the hope in his heart has healed him. But how long will this last? The sin will always be inside him no matter how much they run from it.
Hope is interesting medicine. Keep this idea.
