For Miss Juliana Cresswell

This Ladys ailments have now subsisted so long, or have
Recurred so often that they must be difficult to cure; but I
must observe that this does not arise from any thing
desparate in the nature of her complaints, but from this
that in persons of great delicacy & singular irritability,
which I take to be the case here, it is difficult to engage
them in such a strict attention to their manner of
Living as is however absolutely necessary to prevent a
Return of their complaints. It is however to be supposed that
this Ladys dear bought Experience has prepared her for an
exact Regimen & a close attention to it & therefore that
she may at length be greatly Relieved of all her ailments,
and I shall now give my opinion with Respect to the great
[lines?] of her conduct. She should continue to drink
the goat whey for a month longer, taking it to the quantity
of a quart every day. This quantity should, if her
stomach will bear it, be taken in the morning before
breakfast, begining before she gets out of her bed & taking
a draught every half hour, till she has taken down the quantity
her stomach easily bears. About an hour after the whey is
finished she may take her usual breakfast. Taking the whey
at any other time of day I consider as of very little use Excepting
that a basen of new drawn whey with a little dry toast may
be taken for Supper

During this [course?] & so long as any uneasy feelings
Remain in her breast continue, she should abstain
[from?] all animal food Except it may be a little calves
feet gelly. Her diet must be of milk & Grain with garden
things as they come in Season & particularly all kind
of fruit if rather moderately. --

As often as the state of her ailments will allow & the weather is
tolerable, she should employ the most part of the forenoon in
gentle Exercise in a carriage. All bodily Exercise except
it is of the most gentle & moderate kind may do very
much harm.

Whether she is within Doors or abroad there is
nothing more necessary than guarding against cold
but at the same time very warm chambers or being
heated by a crowd of company are very bad for her.

For the Present the Lady must trust to the Goat whey
& a proper Regimen for her Relief & the most part
of medicines are to be laid aside.

I shall only propose one which I have found of great
benefit both in [easing?] & preventing the Returns of all
kinds of Rash. It is to be taken at first by a tea
spoonful in an ordinary wine glass full of water
but if that dose in not found to be disagreeable, & it by
its sourness it may be increased to two teaspoonfulls,
or to what her taste & stomach easily bears.

It is to be taken twice a day about two hours before
dinner time & supper & it may be easily contrived to be taken
tho she is for the time in the carriage. This medicine is to
laid aside from some days at the end of the Month.

It may be imagined that such a medicine will not agree
with a milk diet but from much experience I know that
it in no way disagrees with it.
