In yours Of May lslh, you acquaint me with
your indispositon which gave me great con-

more exercise is extremely proper; add
hope you will steadily perform il. 1t is of

since the cure OF them by physic Is SO very
precarious. 10 considering the different
kinds OF exercise, l have thought that the

but merely to make great diifeience) that
there Is more'exercise 10 enc miles riding
