Countess of Aberdeen

Tho it is possible cold may have had some share in
bringing on the ailment on her Ladyship's wrist, yet
I cannot think it could have spread to the other
parts of her body, without some fault in the
blood. -

Properly advised to by Harrowgate Waters -
All to be taken before breakfast.
The first day the quantity should be half an English
Pint, but every day afterwards the quantity to be increa¬
sed it moves the belly

Once or twice a week the quantity should [move?]r her
two or three times, but on other days only to keep
her belly regular.

When the quantity is abore above half a Pint
it should be taken at divided draughts, ½ an
hour between each, walking about either within
or without door as the weather permits -

Her breakfast never sooner than half an hour
after ending the Water.

To promote the digestion of the Water her
Ladyship should ride out on horseback or on a carriage
every forenoon for two or three hours that is tolerably
fair --

During this course. Diet much as before
tho with Eggs, Cheese salted or high seasoned food

---

No meat Suppers. -- At dinner any plain
light meat, filling up with light soup pudding
& some vegetables -- avoiding the flatulent & colder
kinds -- Ripe fruit moderately. but the days
she takes the water to purge her, she should take
no fruit & very little Vegetables. -

No Malt liquor. Two or three glasses of white
Wine after dinner & Supper --- and her ordinary
drink should be the same White wine & water.

If the Water sits light on her Ladyship's Stomach
passes readily by stool or Urine - it agrees with
her -- but if it sits heavy, does not pass readily or
gives her much gripping in her bowels - it should not be
pushed --

Tho the Water should agree with her Ladyship yet its
effects on her ailments may not appear very soon &
therefore to be continued for a month; but if in
that space of time no benefit is observed - it should
be given over
