Mrs Major Sinclair
A disposition in her kidneys to bread sand. 1 but as it comes
away in a small hard gritt I hope it will never unite into a stone
How to obtain this I dont know. The only benefit I have
found in such cases is by a plentfull dilution by
mild mucilaginous liquors such as she has been taking
[moderate?] all exercise & avoid costiveness -----
Diet Animal food moderately rather better than much
Vegetable. Much acescents & acids bad for her therefore
no malt Liquors. & wine sparingly. & especially the weaker
a little Madeira or good Sherry well diluted in the water
the most proper. When at Harrawgate she may try the
Waters there. beginning with a quarter of a Pint [&c?]
August 17th 1776
Notes:
1: 'Bread', because the calculus is being passed as grit resembling breadcrumbs.
