When the stomach is well suited to digest Goat whey, the drinking of
this for some weeks at a proper season is of great service to many constutitions
& the best management for a Goat whey course I take to be the following

Let the milk be taken from Goats that feed in a mountainous pasture
& the higher the better

Let the Goats be milked early in the morning & if possible let the
runnet be put to the milk while it is yet warm from the Goat ----

Let that part of whey only be taken that parts readily & entirely
from the Curd. ---

In drinking the whey it is always proper to begin with a small
quantity about a gill to continue this for two days & afterwards by slow

When ever the quantity taken in a morning goes above a Gill it is
always proper to divide it into different draughts & to take these at an
interval of half an hour or more between them ----

It is always best to take the whey betimes in the morning but sooner
or later according to the habits that people are in of getting up in the morning
The first draught may be taken a bed but a person should be up to take the
second if the weather allows of it, it is usefull to walk about in the open air
between the draughts & for a little after the whole is taken ----

When the whey happens to sit heavy or prove windy on the stomach
it may be some {illeg} corrected by taking a tea spoonfull of aniseed sugar in
the first draught of the whey or by eating a little Sugared Carraway
Seed between the draughts.

The whey operates most properly when it keeps the belly regular
without purging & when the most part of whey goes of by Urine --

When the whey does not even keep the belly regular it is proper
to take along with it every day or every second day a Dose of the Soluble
Tartar ordered below. The Dose should be such as to keep the belly body
open & no more for I think purging might be hurtfull to the Governor

Breakfast should not be taken till an hour after the whole of
the whey is taken.

The Diet along with Goat whey may be the same as at other
times only the stomach should be kept always light. Fish should be taken seldom
& very sparingly & much of greens or Roots especially of the Cold or more windy
kinds should be avoided.

In drink all kinds of fermented liquors whether wines or ales
are improper & if any strong drink is necessary the best is water with a
little spirits without any souring and with very little or no sugar.

Nothing secures the good effects of Goat whey more than being much
in the Open air & taking a great deal of gentle Exercise on horseback or in
a Carriage.

I should have said above that is enought to take the Goat whey once
a day for the Evening hardly affords a Convenient time for it unless a person
can take it alone for supper
