I I have carefully considered the whole of Mr Fea's account of what
has happened to Mrs Lindsay, & tho' plainly I believe it to be very accurately
delivered, & more to our purpose than if it had been in a more scientifick form.

The Accident as having such Effects I have met with before in
several Instances, and hope it shall truly prove a Crisis to Mrs Lind¬
say's Ailments. But it will be still proper to be on our Guard, & to se¬
cure her entire Recovery by a proper Regimen.

What has been hitherto done seems to have been very proper and
particularly the Meds. are so. But as the Quantities, and Composition
are not exactly specified I sh shall here give my Opinion on that Subject.

Let her take the Bark in the form prescribed below, and after taking
the Quantity there ordered let her intermit the use of it for a fortnight
After that she may take the same Quantity as before and again lay it
aside for a Month or longer as Circumstances shall direct, that is if she
recovers her Strength to any tolerable Degree, and has no Returns of her
DDisease, I would have her take no more Bark than the two Quanti¬
ties above ordered, but if she does not recover her Strength some Time
in Winter another Course of the Bark and Steel may be necessary.

If her Urine continues to flow freely she will be secure against any
Return of her Disease, and will hardly need to disturb her Stomach with
with the Diuretic Pills, but if her Urine is not clear and plentiful she
must employ these Pills very diligently, even at the Time of taking the
Bark, and more especially in the Intervals of the Bark, and more espe¬
cially in the Intervals. When she takes the Pills during the Inter¬
vals of the Bark, let her wash them down with the Infusion prescribed
below.

These are the only Mede Medecines I would advise just now,

There is nothing more proper or more necessary for her, than her
taking what Exercise either in a Carriage or on Horseback she can easily
bear, or conveniently procure. Excercise taken in the open A air wil al¬
ways do most Service, but when the Weather does not allow of that she
must employ the Hobby Horse as well as she can. Bodily Exercise I
do not expect she will bear for some Time.

Her Diet seems to have been very well managed. Let it be nou¬
rishing, but very light, and let her have no more liquid food, than
is just necessary. If all the Symptoms are of her Disease keep off, some
of the lighter Fishes may be properly employed as a restorative food.
For ordinary Drink which should be as little as possible, the Toast Water
with a little Wine in it is as proper as any, & she may frequently take
a glass of Claret by itself.
