For Mr Hutton

His ailment has subsisted so long & taken such root
in his constitution that it will be difficult &c. & cannot
be entirely removed till Summer. In the meantime
something should be tried if but to determine it to go
off more readily with the advance of the Season.

An hour or two before dinner and at going to
bed take the Electuary ordered below, washing down with
the Strengthening Tincture ordered below.

Diet of a middling kind, Every day at dinner
a bit of solid meat, beef, mutton, veal, lamb or
white fowl, avoiding pork, bacon, water fowl.
He may take sometimes the lighter white fish, but
not the heavier as salmon, or much of any kind.
Must never make a full meal of solid meat but fill
up with broth pudding or pancake. Be sparing of
greens roots or Garden things. The safest are
Potatoes. ----

Ordinary drink water, but every day at dinner he
may take 2 or 3 glasses of red port or Toddie.
No meat at supper ---- At both breakfast &
supper, some kind of grain & milk or rather
milk mixed with an equal of water gruel well
sweetened with sugar or honey.

Exercise on horseback for 2 or 3 hour every
tolerably mild & fair forenoon.
