It is now a very proper season for the Buxton waters but
in travelling thither Miss Pringle should make no great haste
as fatigue will always do harm.

It will be proper for her to carry along a strengthening mix¬
ture ordered below in case she should have any return of the
Disorder in her bowels.

When she has got to Brixton it will not be proper for her to
follow any part of the preparation commonly there advised by
bleeding vomiting or purging but after resting a Day or two she
may immediately begin to Drink the waters.

She should begin by Drinking an ordinary wine glass full
before breakfast, two such glasses between Dinner and breakfast
& three such glasses between Dinner & supper. She should contin¬
ue at this quantity for some Days and according as she finds the
water agree with her to increase the Dose by Degrees but never
to go further than a gill & half or at most half an English pint for
a Dose. When she is to take more than one Dose at a time as in the
forenoons and afternoons she must always allow from a quarter
to half an hour to pass between the Draughts. Of the 3 warm wat¬
ers at Buxton I think that of the Bath the fittest for Miss P: but if
she has any dislike of that she may Drinke the St Anne

After she has Drunk the water for a Day or two she may go
into the bath. At first she should remain in the bath not less than
five nor longer than ten minutes & afterwards the time is to be
regulated by her feelings. If the warmth is agreeable & she feels
herself neither fatigued nor exhausted by being ten minutes in the
bath the time may be practicated to 15 minutes or 20 but if she
feels

If Miss Pringle continues to have any plain symptoms of Cold she should never
again lose a little blood & put of the journey for a day or two. If the symptoms of
cold are very inconsiderable an easy journey will rather be of service to her.

When she gets to Buxton she should lose a little blood before she begins to
drink the water & take care at the same time that her belly is regular.

She may drink the waters wt all the same cautions as advised for Miss Bec¬
kie only she should take them cooler & be more slow in increasing the quantity
& hardly ever go above a gill sixtimes a day. In bathing Miss Jeanie's
management must be very different. She must use the Buxton bath as a
cold one & not remain in it above a minute or two or to make one or two x come
out again immediately. This she should do in the morning only & may con¬
tinue to do so for several mornings together but after she has done so she must
have a bath elsewhere gradually increasing the cold of it till she can take
it of the ordinary cold of a common Spring.

During this course her Diet should be very light & cool taking no fish &
little meat but as much Vegetable as her stomach easily digests. Her
drink should be water wt a very little wine. If she is any ways disposed
to be costive she may drink small beer if her stomach digest it & if the costive¬
ness goes far she may take such a medicine as I have ordered below.

Moderate walking & being much in the fresh air is very proper but
her walking must be very moderate & a good deal of exercise in the
carriage is better for her.
