We have considered this case both in the accurate
account of it, we had from Dr. Gilchrist, and from
what we had an opportunity of observing ourselves
with the utmost attention. It is particular, and both
from its peculiarity, and from its complication with
somewhat Diabetic, it is difficult, but we
hope it is still to be remedied, and for that pur¬
pose we offer the following advices.

1 He should immediately go home with
as much dispatch as he conveniently can. ¹

2d. As soon as he has been a day at home
let a pretty large blister be applied to his side upon
the part in which his ailment seems to be
especially seated, covering the present issue
by a {illeg} plaister, so that there may be in
that part no absorption from the large blister.

3d. As the blister is healing, let a part of it be
converted into a perpetual issue, which is again to be
kept open for some time.

4th. As soon as this issue is established, let
Eight or ten Ounces of blood be taken from his Arm

5th. The day after the bleeding let him set
about travelling for some time every day a Journey
of some length. We think it should not be in
any one day less than forty miles, and if for
the management of horses or conveniency of Stages
it should be a little longer, we should not dislike
it. We imagine it may be so managed that he
may return to his own house every evening
but we particularly wish, that in one way or
other such a journey should be made every
day ↑for some weeks↑ unless either the aggravation of his ail¬
ments render it necessary, or the great relief of
them occur to dispense with its continuance.

6th. As he is likely to be hurt by

7th. During this course we would have
his diet to be cool and light. He may take a little
meat at dinner every day, but it should be in
very moderate quantity and of the lighter kind
and his meal should be filled up with Pudding
Pancake, Tart and Vegetables. At Supper
we cannot advise an Egg in any shape, but
rather Sago, or some other farinaceous matter
with milk or not as he likes best, but we
are of opinion that milk may be a proper
part of his Supper.

8th. All costiveness should be avoided and
his belly rather kept open. If a little Cream
of Tartar, or other cooling salt taken in the
morning, will keep his belly regular, we

9 The only medicine we think at present
necessary is what we have this day given a
prescription for, and of which the Captain
should take a Copy of to the Country, as it is
to be continued for sometime according to the
direction given to day

10 We find it omitted above to say somewhat
about his drink. We think it may be either
water or good Small beer, as he likes best, but
he should hardly take any thing stronger. At
dinner he may take a single glass of wine, but
should hardly ever go further, and every thing
spirituous we judge to be very improper
