Mrs Montgomery of Newton.

An originally delicacy of constitution appearing chiefly in her Stomach.
Not to be entirely cured but the inconveniences & ailments arising from it
may be prevented & relieved & for this

Diet middle. Meat but once a day, at dinner, roasted or boiled of
any plain kind, avoiding fat, fried or baked meat or heavy sauces.
May take fish of the lighter kinds, plain drest, & moderately. No
full meal of Animal food but fill up with pudding or garden &c. Of
the last very moderately; avoiding the windy as cabbage & the colder
kinds as Lettuce, cucumber. sparingly of fruit, & always
quite ripe.

Drink water. no malt &c. she may add a little wine or spirits
to the water. The strongest safest as Madera or Red Port &
while these do not turn sour on Stomach, better than the Spirit.
May take a glass or two if plain wine every day, but of the
stronger kinds; as ↑because↑ Claret, Hock & most white wines are likely
to disagree

No Indian tea at breakfast or at least a little weak Bohea, but
Cocoa tea better. whatever liquid she take the foundation of
her breakfast should always be a fresh soft boiled Egg with white bread
she like best. May take a little butter with dry toast, but
no sweetmeats. Unless she make a good breakfast she should
not make a long interval to dinner or should at 12 or
1 o'clock take a bit of bread with a glass of wine & water or a glass
of Hartshorn jelly or a cup of thin Chocolate. In the afternoon
neither tea nor Coffee or a little of the former very weak, especially
when it is so long after dinner that she can take bread with it.

At supper, no meat or ↑only a little of↑ the lightest kind. Better, grain as rice
barley, sago or bread or some of the least windy Garden things.

Fresh air & gentle exercise, especially horseback. If not,
she should at several times from the 1st April to 1st November make
journies in a carriage for one or 2 or 3 weeks together.

No sitting up late nor lying long in the morning but be as
active as possible. Never alone but [should be her?] amusement

To this regimen few medicines necessary & without it, of no
use. Costiveness must be avoided for this

When the appetite is bad & other symptoms of a foul stomach
appear, a vomit may be useful. but not frequent & espe¬
cially as she manages it should be as seldom as possible but
I wish sh would manage them as other people do, ---

Below is a medicine for strengthening the stomach & nerves. to be
taken in a little currant jelly or panada twice a day, an
hour before dinner & supper, washing down in a little
wine & water but better with a glass of Hartfell Spaw water.
& she would be the better of a glass or 2 of the Hartfell Spaw
at some other times in ↑the↑ day. Continue the powders for a
fortnight only at one time but such a course may be repeated sev¬
eral times a year.
