Weakness of stomach -- {illeg} producing not only indigestion but
also langour & dejection to the Nervous System

Having become on gradually must be so carried off by pains &c.

1. a proper regimen
At dinner always some solid animal food but prefer the
lighter -- & the heavy entirely avoid. Be moderate in quantity
& keep a light stomach. & when {illeg}, never eat meat
alone, but fill up with broth & pudding Liquid food will
not agree with him, & therefore no broths of grain or vegetable
& if of some kind it must be plain soup, not very weak
& in moderate quantity

Avoid most part of vegetable as acescent., but they are
good for the blood & he will bear them better in summer
& therefore he may take them in moderation upon their
first coming in, when young and tender. May gulp up the
lighter fish, but not often. Mustard pretty freely but
of spiceries moderately, & avoid all pickles.

Light & moderate suppers. No indian tea or coffee
at breakfast but may take neat chocolate Cocoa Tea or
tea from {illeg} with a little cinnamon, & dry toast or a little
butter but avoid all sweet as jelly, Marmalade or
Honey ---

If digestible may take milk with bread or grain at
either breakfast or supper --

For ordinary drink, plain toast water. No malt

liquors by {illeg} & choose his wine with care. Must
decline Hock, avoid claret or other french &c. Madeira
Red Port or other pretty strong Spanish or Portuguese wines, but
very moderately & generally diluted with water. Keep in
this side of heat or intoxication ----

In case of acescence or flatulence no wine may agree --
yet he should have some strong drink because used to it
& so may take rum or brandy & water. but avoid
this as long as he can bear wine. When he takes spirits
may take a little sugar, but damn the souring.

So much for Mr Diet.

Take gentle exercise & much fresh air walking p useful
but cannot safely be pushed far. In a carriage
good, especially in bad or doubtful weather but
going on horseback is the dandy. Airings of service
but a long journey best. Avoid sitting long at business
or keeping late hours & always avoid cold.

If he attend to it above, will need few medicines no apo¬
thecaries bill no no. At the same time may
take what are ordered below.
