PHYSICAL AND LITERARY. 41^ 



As few of the patients, whofe cafes I 

 have colle<5led, obferved any rule in theic* 

 diet or exercife, and neverthelefs met with 

 a care ; this {how's that there is no great 

 ftri(5lnefs required in thefe matters : And, 

 indeed, fuch as have any tolerable degree 

 of health and flrength, need not much 

 recede from their ordinary way of living 5 

 though temperance in eating, a moderate 

 life of wine, and gentle exercife, is whac 

 all infirm people fhould conform them- 

 ielves to : But, fuch as are very weak, 

 and much emaciated, or that labour un- 

 der dangerous difeafes of the lungs, or 

 abdominal vifcem^ muft obferve a very 

 ftridl regimen ; their diet fliould confilt 

 of what is lighten and eafiefl: of digeflion, 

 fuch as new milk, broths, panadoes, thiil 

 jellies, frefh eggs, chicken, veal, fowls^ 

 81CC.; and a little wine may be allowed* 

 when not prohibited by the circumftances 

 of the patient ; moderate exercife may be 

 proper for fome, and reft for others; they 

 muft avoid the night air, fitting on the 

 grafs, and every thing that difcompofes 

 the mind.
