With all this he must take care never
to be much heated. The flannel shirt pro¬
posed above should save him from a load of
other Cloaths & from fro any load of blankets
in the night. He must never be so much in
the sun as to be much heated by it nor must
his chamber be kept very warm by great fires.
It should be kept as much as possible of an uni¬
form but moderate heat & he should never sit

has been sitting in a warm chamber he

& therefore among other things he must avoid

& even speaking loud, fast or much at one ti[me]

These are the particulars that Mr
Dingwal must attend to & if attended to
I hope they will effectually preserve him
I am of Opinion that by such a regimen
only he is to be preserved & that medicin[e]
cannot by any means supply the place of it
However with regard to these I shall also
give my opinion.

When he is so unlucky as to be attacked
with any symptoms of fresh Cold if they
are slight & moderate they need not restrain
him from going abroad & taking his usual
