A letter from a physician in the Highlands, to his friend in London, on the subject of a consumptive habit. Wherein he demonstrates, That Temperance, or a proper Regimen of Diet, a moderate Exercise, without the Aid of Medicine, or Regard to Climate, may with Safety be depended on for a Cure in all such Cases. The Whole illustrated by A distinct Account of the Regimen of Diet observed by the oldest Men now living in that Country; especially of one in the Island of Jura, who in his Youth recovered a decayed Constitution; and tho' confined to a sharp Air, and a moist Climate, yet, by the mere Force of Temperance, arrived to the Age of 119, and enjoyed his Health and Senses to the last. To which is prefix'd, The Editor's case, which gave Rise to the Publication of this Letter.

Directions for an extension of the practice of recovering persons apparently dead: taken from the instructions at large, published by Alexander Johnson, M.D. (Introducer of the practice in England,) and confirmed by reports received from abroad: Tending to shew, that more benefit will arise to the nations, from extending the knowledge of the original treatment here set forth, to be exercised generally by men of all denominations, than from its being restrained to the efforts of a comparatively small number of medical assistants and country practitioners, recommended by the several humane socienties in this kingdom; and who, professionally occupied, cannot be at hand to give that instantaneous assistance upon which the hope of success is founded, at that critical moment when fleeting life exists but like a spark.
