Mr Ord of Weetwood


Glad you are better & hope you will get quite well.
I am disappointed in the Discutient oil & find that somewhat
else will be necessary.


Go to Buxton for 3 or 4 weeks. The journey, & dissipa¬
tion of the place may be of service & the water may do good
to your Stomach but for your neck & back I expect relief es¬
pecially from the bathing. Use it as a warm bath, that
is by remaining in it from a quarter to half an hour every
time. At first you may use it every second day only, but
afterwards & especially if you bear it well, every day. The
best time is in the evening & for the the rest of the Evening

you should keep to your chamber. Buxton does very
ill in the rainy weather. The present season is favorable
& if rainy weather set in dont continue there.
