To Mr Marsden Concerning Mr G.

No particular disease but an irritable constitution rendered still
much worse by his manner of life. From this Constitution has
been liable to several disorders and may be liable to still worse
if he does not carefully avoid them - For this purpose a
Regimen particularly with regard to drinking - I would not
have him lay aside strong drink altogether, but he
must never take as much as heat him or even approach to
intoxication. His drink may be Grog Grog or Wine & he should
be more carefull in the quantity than the quality of this last.
If he does not avoid intoxication neither medicine nor regimen
will be of service & he may bring on Palsy or Epilepsy.

1. Some Tonic Medicines & try the Chalybeate ordered below

2. If he is full at present & or has been living full of
late, he may draw off eight or ten ounces of blood before he
enter upon his Tonic Medicine but I am very averse to
frequent bleedings in such a constitution.

3. If his belly is not regular an Aloetic Pill without purging

4. Exercise very proper but must be moderate & therefore
hunting doubtfull. Much walking or dancing very bad --

5. Avoid being heated by warm chambers or a croud of
company – 6. If he can be persuaded to live cooly cold
bathing may be of service & in the Summer season he
may be the better for going to Scarborough for
the sea bathing. 7. Attend to the state of his mind
& avoid Emotions or surprise. 8. If in spite of all this

this he is liable to faintishness or threatened with a fit
he should not have recourse to drams but take a tea
spoonful of the Volatile Tincture of Valerian
in a glass of water. 9. No particular Diet only
moderation in Animal food & avoiding everything of
difficult digestion – 10. Sitting up late at night
very bad.

Prescription as in the former for Mr Hutton. ¹
