Though Mrs. Taits ailment has now conti¬
nued a long time and resisted {illeg}
of opinion that it will admitt of an entire Cure
and soon yield to proper remedies.

What I especially depend upon is Warm
Bathing but it must be managed with great
exactness. Let a proper tub be employed of such
depth as will easily hold as much water
as will entirely cover the body laid along
in the bottom of it and whatever quantity
is found necessary three parts of it must
be taken from a Spring or Pit well
never from a Brook or river and this is
to be first put into the bathing tub and

when Mrs. Tait is nearly undressed and ready
to go into the tub there is one part of boiling
water to be put into the tub and immediately
mixed with the cold water and in this Mrs.
Tait is to immediately ↑to↑ lie down and to remain
in it at first for a quarter of an hour
but afterwards for half an hour or longer
if she bears it easily and the heat of the
water can be kept up. When she is to
remain only for a quarter of an hour if the
bathing is in a tolerably warm Chamber and
the bathing tub is for the greater part of it
covered over with a blanket the water
will probably keep its heat for the
time required but when it is proper

for the bathing to be continued longer it will
be necessary to pour into the Bathing tub
by the side of it a gallon or two of boiling
water but to be immediately diffused over
the whole and in this way the heat of the
Bath may be easily kept up for an hour
or more.

This Bathing should be employed about
six or seven in the Evening and when Mrs.
Tait comes out of it she should be very well
dried and put on her ordinary Cloaths
but should remain in a warm Chamber
for the rest of the Evening.

This Bathing may be employed three
times a week but in the intermediate

days she must take care to be very well Cloathed
even as she goes about her house and more
especially if she goes abroad but in very
[cold?] weather She should not go abroad at all
