an hours interval between each -

He should begin between 6 & 7. in the morng. & he
may take the first draught in bed, but get up before he
takes the second.

When he returns from the Highlands, it may
be very proper for him to try a Course of Tar water.

which has the most watery moisture about it

Take one muchkin of this & pour upon it into
an Earthen Vessel three Chopins of boiling Water.
Stir the Tar among the Water with a Wooden Stick
& do this every hour for two or three times, then let the

If any Oil appears upon the Surface of the
water take it off carefully with a little Cotton or a
Silver Spoon- Then pour off a Pint of the Water very

the Tar itself or any of its oil should be carefully avoided.

Let the water poured off be put into clean bottles and
kept for use

Let him take a Wine glass full at a time and he
may for the first days take two or three such Glasses
in the Course of the forenoon and another between

him an Appetite he may by degrees increase the size
of his Glasses to double the above & so continue it for
two or three weeks or more

The drinking Tar Water requires no particular
Regimen, or at least no other that what has been
otherwise advised.
