For Miss Peggie Graham
1. I depend upon the season for her cure & think few medi¬
cines necessary but she may continure the Pills last or¬
dered.
2. Let her take a warm bath to her waste once a week a¬
bout [6?] o clock in the evening. It will be enough for [her?]
to remain in it for fifteen or twenty minutes. On coming
out of it let her skin be well dried. Let her put on her
ordinary cloaths but keep to her chamber for the rest of
the evening.
3. Every morning let her thighs & legs be pretty well
rubbed with a flesh brush or warm flannel.
4. Exercise either in walking or riding will be of service
she should use it very often but always moderatily.
5. Let her take about a pint of Cow milk whey every mor¬
ning at two or three draughts & let her take it so early
that she may have an hours walk after it & before her
breakfast which should be of Cocoa Tea.
6. At Dinner she may take any plain meat with a mo¬
derate share of vegetables avoiding the more windy kinds
as cabbage & the colder kinds as Cucumber or Sallad. She
may take Milk for supper.
