Though Sir Robert is threatned with the
disagreeable Ailment I am glad to observe that it is
in a very moderate degree and it has already yielded
in some measure.

For his further relief the remedy we especially
depend upon is the use of the Waters and Bath of
Buxton and we advise him to repair to that place
immediately.

He will be the better I expect for the Tra¬
velling and he may therefore take the Rout he
likes best but he should travel always by moderate
and easy Journeys. If the weather is cool he may
travel at any time of the day he likes best but
if the weather should prove warm he should avoid
travelling in the middle of the day, that is, from
Eleven oClock til three or four afternoon.

Too much heat applied would certainly do

harm and therefore is to be guarded against particu¬
larly by avoiding Travelling late at night or in
very wet weather either upon the road or at Buxton.

Sir Robert's diet both upon the road and at
Buxton should be of a middle kind. He should take
some Animal food every day at Dinner but it
should be of the lighter kind and in moderate quantity
filling up his Meal with Broth, Pudding and Ve¬
getables. But of the latter kind he should avoid the
colder things such as Cucumber and Lettuce and the
windy as Cabbage. He may take fruit of any kind
but always very moderately. His ordinary drink
should be water plain or with a little wine in it
and every day at Dinner or after it he may take
two or three glasses of wine but should never go
further. His wine may be Red Port or good Cherry.
Claret, French white wine or Rhenish are all
rather too cold for him. He should abstain from
Spirits in every shape.

His Suppers should be little or none at all a bit
of dry toast with a glass or two of weak Negus will
be generally sufficient. At Breakfast Sir Robert
may take dry toast and butter with a dish of tea
which if very weak may be of any kind he likes
best. In the afternoon he may take either a dish
of Green Tea or Coffee but either of them should be
always very weak.

Both upon the road and at Buxton he should
continue to take his dose of white mustard every
night and morning.

While upon the road till he gets to Buxton
he wil please to continue to take the Electuary
I have already prescribed but when he gets to
Buxton he may lay it entirely aside and trust
entirely to the use of the waters.

With regard to the management of these
I offer no directions but leave Sir Robert

to be directed by his own former experience in drinking
and Bathing more or less as he found them formerly
to agree with him.

I have only one other advice to offer, which
is that while the weather is tolerably fair Sir
Robert should go out in a Carriage more or less every
day.
