For Miss Swaine
A chorea and to be cured
by Tonics & among
these I should like the Bark. But as the disease
succeeded the use of the Bark it is possible the family
may be prejudiced against it. In this case employ
the Chalybeate.
Five grains of Rubigo with a
little cinnamon &
sugar twice a day & if the Stomach
bears it well the dose may be increased to ten grains
& washed down with an infusion of bitters & as¬
sringents joined. Exercise. Cold bathing.
Keep the belly regular with unbruised Mus¬
tard. A spare diet not however entirely for¬
bidding animal food.
Change her habitation from the fens to a dry
soil especially in the Autumn.
