For Miss Balderston
As Miss B has lately threatened with a return
of her spitting of blood. I think it very necessary whether
she has any pain of her breast or not to have six or
eight ounces of blood taken from her Arm and in
a day or two if she has any pain or Spitting to have
the same repeated.
Let her be kept very cool and quiet avoiding as
much as possible all bodily motion & let her be
kept out of the Sun or a Chamber heated by it -
Let her Diet for some time be kept very low
and let her only drink be cold water -
If she has any degree of Costiveness let it be
removed, by a dram or two of Cream of Tartar
taken with from two to three four drams of Manna
Several times a day let her take a Tea Spoonfull
of the following mixture in a glass of Water -
Take three ounces of rose water, and half an ounce each of Syrup of dried rose and Spitir of vitriol
