Mrs Ogilvie
Her journay should be continued in the same manner
However tho my chief dependence is upon the Journay, I have
no objection to her trying Bristol for two or three weeks
providing that she does not find upon intermitting the
traveling that her cough increases or the pain of her side returns
in which cases I think she will not be so much the better of
Bristol water as of traveling. Before entering upon the Bristol
water she may lose four ounces of blood from her arm. She
must begin drinking the water by taking a single glass
which is commonly a little more than a gill, for the first
day but may take it forenoon and afternoon. The second &
third day she may take two glasses twice a day, & if she
finds it agree with her stomach & breathing she may for
the fourth day & afterwards take three glasses a day, but
never more. The several glasses are to be taken only at the
interval of half an hour between each. -- While she remains
at Bristol she should still be as much in the Carriage as
the heat of the weather will allow. - In every other respect Mrs
O. must continue the regimen at first advised. --
The Alteration you mention, I did not expect, but I hope it will
do no harm, only if she finds that the traveling a little
more than usual increases it, she must travel slower, or
less in a day or perhaps rest a day or two together. --
If such a tendency continues when she goes to Bristol
it will not be necessary to let blood as I mentioned above. --
