For Mr Callow

Not affected with consumption but his time of life & constitution are
such as allow no security against that disease, but in a very exact manner of
living, and in the first place by taking a great dial of pains to get free of
his present complaints. For this purpuse I offer the following advice ----

He should immediately return to the Isle of Man, which has a milder
winter than any part of the main land of Britain.

He should travel by easy journies, avoiding carefully cold or fatigue

Upon the road I do not think it necessary for him to use any medicines
except the Gargle ordered below & in case of his cough being troublesome
a dose of the Pectoral Pills. also may be to be taken at bedtime.

When he gets home, he should keep much in the house till he gets free
of his cough. Till the month of March next, if he is not entirely free
from cough, he should never be abroad after dinner; and it should be
only in very mild & fine weather, that he is abroad in the forenoon.
& then too it should be to go on horseback or in a carriage - While
any cough remains, he should walk little & gently, as walking up
hill, walking fast or long at one time, will always hurt his breast
very much. When he gets home if his cough shall still continue
with any return of Inflammation or swelling in his throat, he should
take some blood from his arm, more or less as the urgency
of his these Symptoms & frequency of Pulse seem to require --

If only his cough continue without any return of inflammation or swelling of the throat
nothing will do more service than a gentle vomit repeated 2 or 3 times, & at the same
time keeping very close at home.

If his cough continue & especially any affection of his throat, must again have a
blister inter scapulae but it is not necessary to turn any part of it into a perpetual
blister, till his cough appear more obstinate than I expect it will &c

These are the chief remedies for his cough but he must also observe a strict
diet. Very little animal food & only at dinner a little of the lightest kind. For

the rest, must confine himself to milk grain & fruit & these in every variety he
pleases. If easy to be had, he may take from 1/2 to a pint of Asses milk every
morning, & especially if his cough prove lingering.

Till he be entirely free from cough, should avoid all strong drink confining
himself to water & watery liquor. Few medicines can be of service but I
shall propose the following

When his cough is troublesome on lying down at night or any time thro the
night, may take from time to time a teaspoonful of the Linctus ordered below,
swallowing it leisurely.

If in spite of this & the remedies above, his cough be very troublesome in
the night, & prevent much his sleeping, may take at bedtime the only
draught ordered below, but need not have recourse very often to this &
if the remedies proposed above be properly employed & the Regimen ordered
advised be strictly observed I hope these Oily Draughts will not be
often necessary.

While his cough is loose & he spits pretty freely these Draughts
will be safer, but if at any time his cough should become bound &
dry the Draughts will be less proper, and he should then take an
Oily mixture with Acetum or Syrupus Scilliticus, to the quantity his stomach
easily bears.

When Mr C. has any fresh attacks of inflammation or swelling
in his throat, he should immediately confine himself to his
chamber, have his throat tyed up with flannel from ear to ear
& use the Vol. Ol. to be rubbed on especially from ear to ear.
This with the moderate use of the Gargle will be generally
sufficient, and it will not be necessary for him to bleed or
blister, but when the Symptoms are very considerable ---

Tho' Mr Callow should as I expect get very soon quttt quitt
of his present ailments, he must for many years consider him
self as liable to be affected with cold and to suffer from its

consequences & therefore should be constantly on his gaurd against
it, should always be warmly ↑& uniformly↑ cloathed, should avoid being heated
by exercise or any other means, should avoid being exposed to any
moisture & should be always very temperate in his manner
of living --- A journey on horseback or in a Carriage taken
moderately but continued for some weeks together, both at
the beginning of summer & in harvest will always be
of great service to his constitution, and if about the
beginning of next winter, he shall be attacked with cough
or other ailments of his breast, his only safety will be
in taking to a warmer climate for the whole of the winter.
