MY DEAR BROTHER, Medicines, I think, will be of no service to you, unless it were a course of tar-water. But very probably change of air might be of service. See letters of Aug. 4, 1782, and Nov. 16, 1785, to him. It might be of service to spend, suppose, a week or two at Liverpool, afterwards a week or two at Chester or Parkgate and perhaps at Manchester. Your diet in the meantime should be chiefly milk and vegetables; of which I judge turnips, potatoes, and apples to be the best. Preach as much as you can preach, and no more. I am Your affectionate brother.","word_count":116,"source_url":null,"themes":["free-will","reign-of-god"],"created_at":"2026-01-30T05:18:13.590801"}]}
