Not consumptive, or immediate danger, but such catarrhal com¬
plaints long continuing may end ill. Therefore to remove them
she should travel which is better than any medicine & when she is settled
in any place, should be often on horseback.

Avoid cold -- a flannel shirt next her skin, night & day even thro
the Summer, nor to lay off any part of her winter dress, during the
summer. Keep her feet & legs always warm and dry. If they be
liable to be cold towards evening, she should have them well
warmed before lying down in bed, & wear during the night worsted
stockings or footsocks.

Diet as light & cool as her Stomach will bear. Sparing of
animal food at dinner; & at supper none. A little of her snail
milk will be very proper for a supper. No tea at breakfast,
but rather Cocoa with a good deal of milk. -- Or she may take
fresh cows milk with an equal part of water gruel & either with
the Cocoa or with the milk & gruel may take dry toast with a very
little butter. May take ½ a pint of Asses milk in the morning
& may sleep after it if without sweating, but if she sweat she
should avoid sleeping by delaying the milk till near the time she
is to rise. If her cough become very bound she may take the
Expectorat Mixture prepared by Dr Brodie, but I hope she may
avoid it by employing a very innocent but effectual remedy
ordered below. -- if the cough become so frequent in the night
as to interrupt her sleep, she may take the Paregoric elixir
or syrup of poppies as Dr Brodie advises, but they should
be employed as seldom as possible. ---- No strong drink,
or malt liquors, hardly Porter; if it cause any heat it must
be let alone.
