Although the efficacy of the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM is such, that in most cases no assistance is required from any thing else, yet a due attention to air, exercise, sleep, and regimen, is in all cases proper, and in a few absolutely necessary. A few words on each of these heads will be sufficient.

Wherever the patient is, he must not neglect exercise; it should be moderate at first and augmented by degrees, being always left off before too great fatigue takes place. All exercise is best fasting, and with regard to the kind of exercise most conducive to health, none is preferable to walking.

Much depends on a due regulation of sleep, especially as the want or disturbance of that great restorative is one of the most distressing symptoms of the disease. To contribute effectually to the cure, it should be sound and not too long; the best way of procuring sleep is upon a hard bed or mattress; to rise early, take sufficient exercise and proper food during the day, and sup lightly. The greatest attention should be paid by the patient both to the quantity and quality of his food: he should rather eat a little and often, than gorge himself with a full meal at any one time and this rule is the more necessary as a preturnatural voracity of appetite is a frequent symptom in this and every other species of decay. Animal food should be taken once a day.

:

Roots, as potatoes, turnips, parsnips, carrots, &c., afford much nourishment; and, at dinner and supper,

drink good pure water, discoloured with a little wine, or very good table beer, &c. Spirituous liquors in any form are destructive; some malt liquors are

not a little injurious. From two to three glasses of port wine or claret may be taken, especially after or during dinner.

For weakness, deficiency of natural strength, and relaxation of the vessels, by too frequent indulgence of the passions, the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM with the PURIFYING SPECIFIC PILLS, is a safe, certain, and invaluable remedy; and, if, during the time the patient is under a course of these medicines, he were to accustom himself to the use of sponging the whole body with cold water, every morning on first getting out of bed, it would be highly beneficial; it should be done quickly, and followed with a rough towel. It has considerable effect in giving tone to the skin, and maintaining a proper action in it, and thus proves a safeguard in the injurious influence of cold and sudden changes of temperature; therefore, a person who is in the habit of thus fortifying the skin, will be much less likely to suffer injury from heated rooms, and the change from a hot room to the cold air.

The cold bath recommends itself in a variety of cases; and is peculiarly beneficial to the inhabitants of populous cities, who indulge in voluptuousness, or lead sedentary lives. In persons of this description the action of the solids is always too weak, which induces a languid circulation, a crude indigested mass of humours, and obstruction in the capillary vessels and glandular system. Cold water, from its gravity, as well as its tonic power, is well calculated either to obviate or remove these symptoms. It accelerates the motion of the blood, promotes the different secretions, and gives permanent vigour to the solids.

These important purposes are always most essentially answered by sea-bathing; for salt water ought to be preferred, not only on account of its superior gravity, but likewise for its greater power of stimulating the skin, which promotes the perspiration, and prevents the patient from catching cold.

The use of the CORDIAL BALM OF SYRIACUM, and sponging the body regularly every morning on first getting out of bed, is pointed out by the nature of their virtues; they produce the same effects; and being combined, will cure disorders which every other remedy would only have increased. Being strengthening, sedative, and febrifugal, they reinvigorate, diminish the feverish and nervous heat: they calm the irregular motions produced by the spasmodic disposition of the nervous system; they fortify a weak stomach, and quickly dissipate its attendant pains; they restore appetite, they facilitate digestion and nutrition, they promote all the functions, and particularly perspiration, which renders them so efficacious in all catarrhous and cutaneous disorders. In a word, they remove all the disorders occasioned by weakness, provided the patient is not afflicted with indissoluble obstructions, inflammations, nor internal ulcerous abscesses, which conditions almost necessarily exclude the operation.
