42 PHYSIC, &c. 



This mode of exercise must be constantly 

 persevered in without relaxation; his gal- 

 lops night and morning should be increased, 

 as well as his walking exrcise, which should 

 by this time be lengthened to a full hour in 

 the morning, and the same in the evening : 

 not only during the time of promoting con- 

 difion^ but regularly continued t) preserve 

 him so; if the owiier is prompted by the 

 least spark of emulation to appear in the 

 field with a portion of that eclat ^ so 'very 

 much the ton in every sporting county in the 

 kingdom. 



A proper respect to the abilities of Bart- 

 let (who has very considerably improved 

 and modernized the system of Gibson and 

 Bracken) induces me to give a literal copy 

 of his preparation for '^ a cooling purging 

 *' drink \' which, as he observes, " is cooling, 

 *' easy, and quick in its operation, and greatly 

 *^ preferable, in all inflammatory cases, to 

 '' any other purge, as it passes into the 

 '' blood and operates also by urine/' 



" Take senna two ouncCvS ; infuse in a pint of boiling 

 ^' water two hours, Avilh three drachms of salt 

 " of tartar ; pour off and dissolve in it four 

 ^' ounces of Glauber salts, and two or three 

 *' drachois of cream of tartar."
