{illeg} very full and exact history of his
complaints {illeg} has been and ↑still↑ {illeg}
still [strongly?] {illeg} [to his foot?] and {illeg} his present
complaints {illeg} to it. There is nothing more
than for the gravel to come upon Gouty [persons?] and by the
pains across the back which the Provost at present is
severely troubled with I suspect the kidneys to be threatened
with gravel but as no distinct symptoms of that have
yet appeared and the pains are still to be considered as
Gouty and have appeared and subsisted because except a
small low pain February 1783 he has had no regular
Gout for about three years past.

My opinion therefore is that his whole conduct
should be directed upon the supposition of his constitution
being strongly disposed to the Gout. Up In this view
I advise him to be {illeg} moderate in his bodily exercise

and {illeg} [the sweating?] he is so much disposed
{illeg} on horse¬
back Riding very [moderately?] but as {illeg} can {illeg}
{illeg} bear and {illeg} will allow {illeg}
{illeg} and {illeg} will be ready to {illeg} him very
{illeg} to guard against the weather of this Climate
[nothing?] is more necessary than very warm Cloathing.
Mr. Molison should have woolen every where next
his skin and even with that his upper Cloathing pretty
thick. He should particularly take care of his feet and
legs should always wear double stockings and besides
these his Cloth half boots.

In his diet he may take ordinary fare but at breakfast
he should not take either Tea or Coffee but either bread and
Milk or [Caes?]. At Dinner he should take moderately of
broth and should take a bit of solid meat every day but
always moderately of Animal food particularly of fish
filling up his meal with Pudding and Vegetables.
His ordinary drink should be water avoiding all

kind of malt liquors {illeg}
he may take {illeg}
Drink{illeg} may take {illeg} [get a glass?] of red Port
or a few glasses of {illeg}
[saveing?] but he is [constantly?] to {illeg}
excess of ↑in↑ strong drink of any kind. At Supper he should take
no meat at all but any thing else of the Vegetable kind and
he may take a few glasses of Toddy after it. He should always
go to bed early at night and get up betimes in the morning

These are the particulars of Regimen I can
recommend and which if strictly observed I am persuaded
will be of service. I think there is little occasion for
medicine but I have prescribed one on the inclosed paper
which I have often found of service in throwing the
Gout of out of the body.
