For Mr Innes.

While he remains in Britain his chief care is to gaurd against
cold — & therefore must be well cloathed — a flannel Shirt. worsted
under stockings & thick shoes. — Never to be much heated, by Exercise
crouded company &c. & to be abroad in the Evenings as seldom as possible

Exercise on horseback or in a Carriage very proper. but at this season must
be very cautious — never going abroad but when the weather is very mild
& then too in a Carriage — If he goes to London he must keep very warm.
never travelling in the night, both for cold & fatigue —

He should take 6 or 7. days in going to London.

In Diet. light & cool. little animal food — but as he cannot live
entirely on Vegetables he must compound the matter. — At dinner a bit
of the lighter kinds of meat or otherwise in very moderate quantity. — Never
to make a full meal of meat — filling it up with broth &c &.c avoiding
those Vegetables that prove windy — — At Supper no meat, but make it

up with grain & milk if he can digest this last easily — if
he puts to the milk an equal part of watergruel or warm water
sweatening the whole with Sugar. & this is to be taken with bread
Barley &.c — The same for breakfast., but if he chuses some
thing in the shape of tea let it be Cocoa Tea — Indian Tea &
Coffee are both bad for him.

Much walking bad for him — & this caution necessary in
London —

When he is aboard a ship & even when he gets into a
warmer climate ↑if the weather is stormy↑ the same caution with regard to cold is necessary
When he gets into a warm climate & easy weather he may diminish
his cloathing but must not be of his gaurd aboard a ship

While he is aboard a ship he must accomodate in like
manner his diet to the climate — While he is in Northern
regions his diet may be tolerably full & such as I have
mentioned above but still with great moderation with
respect to animal food & for this purpose to lay in a stock
of fine Barly Rice &.c & dried fruits — & have frequently
a mess of these to keep clear of Animal food. — This he must
do more & more as he gets into warmer climates

As to his drink — the same almost in every climate —
his Ordinary drink toast or plain water — if the water
is not good — he may add a 12th part of Spirit which will agree
better with his stomach than any kind of wine while he is
in cold Climates, but when in Warm Climates a little Madeira may be

as safe. — No malt Liquor. — Strong drink of
every kind unproper — at least very sparingly — he may take
it a litt[l]e more freely in Britain or on the first part of his
voyage than in warm Climates. & in these last wine well diluted
will be safer than spirits —

Acids much used in warm climates, & is generally of advantage
& might be of advantage to Mr Innes's Breast, but the indigestion
that attends it ↑in him making↑ makes it doubtfull. — but will probably agree
with him better in warm climates than they have done in a cold one
but he must proceed with caution & be directed by experience.

When in Jamaica, he must avoid the heat of the day & the
cold of the nights — & this is the whole management in a warm
climate — as little in the sun as possible & never to take brisk
exercise while in it — his business ↑abroad↑ to be done in the morning
resting within doors in the Evening & perhaps sleeping in the middle
of the day — never to be abroad in the Evening or if obliged, to be
well cloathed —

Animal food & Strong drink destroys most part of Europeans
in warm climates — & altho there are other diseases in Warm Climates
& a little Strong drink may be of service in resisting them, but
great moderation still nec[e]ssary — & intemparance renders man more
liable to catch diseases. — & this a general rule but more
nec[e]ssary for Mr Innes than other persons
