Note 84 — PEPTIC PRECEPTS.
Reading edition
Delicate people, who are accustomed to dine at a certain hour, on certain food, &c., are generally deranged as often as they dine out, and change the hour, &c.
The Editor has a patient who never Dines out without suffering severely for several days after—not from over-eating or drinking, &c., but from the change of Diet, and the time of taking it. His habit is to make a hearty meal off one dish at Five o’clock, and drink with it some good heartening home-brewed Beer, and two or three glasses of Wine—that has not been kept till it has lost its best qualities.
