We are of opinion that he may be much better
for a change of Air for two or three weeks going
to a place however where he may be as much mas¬
ter of his manner of living as if he were at home

For the same time we would have him ↑make↑ an entire
change in his diet. We would have him abstain from
almost all kind of animal food and strong drink
and take very entirely to a diet of milk and grains
that is, bread, Rice, flower of rice, barley, Millet, or
Sago, and these with or without milk prepared in
any manner he likes best. Along with the grain
he may have Raisins and Currants or some preser¬
ved fruit. At dinner every day he may have a
bason of Beef tea or chicken broth but this is the only
animal food we would admit of. Asparagus or
other garden things as they come in season he may
have a part of but he should not take them largely

Every morning he should take about half a muchkin
more or less as his stomach bears it, of Asses milk and
he should take it pretty early that he may have a sleep
after it provided always that that sleep is sound and
without sweating for if it is with much sweating it
it will be better to delay the Asses milk till he is ready
to get out of bed. If the Asses milk shall be found
to agree very well with his stomach he may take
another half muchkin between seven and eight of the
evening.

For his ordinary drink he must take plain water
or with a toast in it and he must taste no kind of
malt liquor. We are of opinion also that during
this trial of a milk diet he should take no kind of
wine, but if he should find his stomach disposed to
be windy or his dinner to sit a little heavy on it
he may take every ↑day↑ after dinner a table spoonfull
or two of Rum or Brandy pretty well diluted with
water but without either sugar or lemon with it.

For the benefit of this course much will depend on
Mr Finlays assiduity in taking Air and Exercise.
He should be often either on horse ↑back↑ or in a carriage to
the length that he bears easily and no more and it
may be at different times of day as the weather
shall direct as he should neither be abroad in great
heats nor in wet and cold weather. A little before
breakfast will always be of service and ↑when↑ the weather
is very warm an hour or two towards evening will
be very proper. We need hardly say that if the
weather should at any time prove wet with cold east¬
erly winds that he should carefully guard against it.

He should be regular in his hours and always go
to bed betimes at night.

With this course we have but one medicine to
advise of which he should take two table spoonfulls
every day about an hour before dinner.
