Mr. Redpath, about Mrs. Hogarth.

Considered carefully &c, but sorry &c from her time of life, long con¬
tinuance of her ailments & her having still an object of anxiety con¬
stantly before her, her cure very difficulty but we must try &ccc.

Diet. Avoid flatulent & acescent foods, & malt liquors, use spirits
& water or a little of the strongest wines as Madera or Red Port. For
medicine let her take the powders & Infusion below. must use these
constantly for 2 or 3 weeks, & when severe fits of pain & flatulence af¬
fect her stomach, use the Drops ordered below. In these drops I use
the common Elix. propriet. because I suspect you have not the Elix.
propriet. vitriol. as in the latest edition of the Edinburgh Pharmacopœia I shall provide it for you.

Mr. Hog: must sit less at writing, & take more exercise, in riding
& walking, the latter may at first, be from his corpulency & want of use,
difficult, but must be by degrees &cc. Diet very moderate, avoid
flatulent food, take the lightest animal food joining a good deal of
farinacea. with regard to drink, do as his Mother. They ↑both↑ must both
avoid tea & coffee. A course of Solubl. Tart. for Mr. Hog: the
quantity just to purge him once a day. which quantity must be dissolved in an English
pint or more of good spring water & taken in several draughts before
breakfast. But one other medicine i.e. when his flatulent fits in the fore¬
noon seize him take the medicine ordered below.

For Mrs. Hogarth.
