Begins (f. 1v, lines 1-7):
بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم
تقويم الصحة بالأسباب الستة التي لا بدّ لكل إنسان يوثر دوام
صحته من تعديلها وأوالها إصلاح الهواء الواصل إلى قلبه والثاني
تقدير مأكله ومشربه والثالث تعديل حركاته وسكونه
والرابع منع نفسه من الإغراق في نومه ويقظته والخامس تقدير
استفراغ واحتقان فضلاته والسادس أخذ نفسه بالقصد في
فرجه وغضبه وفزعه وغمه
