You may always depend upon my best
advice about whatever you shall please to desire
it. With regard to the blister proposed for Mrs Kennwor↑thy↑
I think your Theory not very sound, and I can assure
you that no such consequences are to be aprehended
If the Tooth on ye pained Side becomes much spoiled
if it shews a frequent connection wt ye pain on
the Cheek it may be prudent, it may be absolutely
necessary to take it out & I hope ye Cure will then
proceed as you wish.

With regard to yourself I am glad to find you more
free from some Ailments yt I thought had a share
in producing the others you are troubled with
I dont doubt, but ye bathing at Scarborough
had a good Effect & I am glad you have
begun to the same practice at London as I expect
much good from it. While you have conveniency
for bathing in the ordinary Way I have no objection
to it. The Asses Milk may possibly do you Service
but this depends upon its digesting easily which
can only be determined by a Trial. If it lys
heavy on your Stomach takes away your
Appetite for Breakfast, or shews any tendency
for purging you it is not fit for you. If
it digests very easily you may take it to
the Quantity of half a Pint but you
must not take any of it immediately before
Bathing, & therefore on bathing Days you
must either let it alone altogether or
take it two or three hours before bathing.

The Asses Milk will not interfere

with the Pills unless either the one or t'other
prove purgative and then they will not do
together. Your riding out will always be
of service but I wish you could take more
than an hour & the Morning before breakfast
is the best time but when that is not convenient
the forenoon will do very well. I dont think
the foundation of your Ailment is in your
Stomach, but most of your Symptoms
do arise from thence and you are absolutely
right in studying your Diet and I shall
be glad to assist you –– Your present
breakfast is very proper & the Substitute
for Tea in ye afternoon which I recom¬
mended to Mr Dennison is very proper for you
with regard to Supper the Rule is the
lightest and least –– For Dinner you are
to be at more liberty but some Caution is
very necessary. On one hand you must
avoid all heavy Meats as Bacon
Salt Pork, all very fat and almost
all fryed and baked Meats & you
must always be sparing in taking
fish especially w heavy Sauces
and ye heavier kinds of fish you should
not at all –– With these Exceptions you
may take a part of any ordinary meat
but on ye other hand you must avoid
all the Colder kinds ↑of↑ food as Cucumber
Melon, Sallad and you must take very
little fruit of any kind. You must also
be very sparing of Roots and Greens
of all kinds, Light Puddings you may
take
