Normalized Text
For Mr Michael Stewart.
You have done right in taking
the Solution but I would
not insist on it any longer nor on the warm bath. When you
shall have laid both these aside for ten days you may try the
sea bathing. Take it in the morning before breakfast or at
least when your Stomach is most empty in the forenoon.
When ever you go into the Sea remain in it for a very short
time.
