For Mr Glaister

I have considered your full account of
Mr Glaisters case and think it entirely a case of
Scurvy. To obtain a cure he must live in a Dry situ¬
ation and for some time keep intirely to a Veg¬
etable diet. In the way of medicine he may
Continue your Powders of [Strong. ust.?] &c and let
him take of the Juice of Scurvy Grass Two parts
with one part Juice of {illeg} and of this mixture
he may take from two to four ounces as his
stomach bears it twice a day. Mercurials of all
kinds will do harm I expect little from the Bark
When Diarrhœa occurs use Rhubarb moderately

and employ anodynes But discreetly When the
paroxyms of Pain Eruption and fever come on
you may use the nitrous mixture ordered below
It is very proper for him to take what Exercise
on horse back he easily bears it but let him avoid
the heat of the sun let him avoid Drinking any
malt liquor, but he may take a little wine with
water for his ordinary Drink for which also
he may take whey or butter milk. The Disease
in his Constitution and to get the better of it
will require perseverance both in Diet and
Medicine.
