Siman 183

(17.) In the summer 5568 [1808] he came from Lemberg to his home in Breslov on Sunday Parashat Balak — and he spent the Sabbath on the road in the holy congregation of Yanov. Also on his journey from Lemberg he traveled via Brod and was delayed there for some time — approximately two weeks. And the doctors said it was very difficult for him to travel because of the severity of his illness — and that he could travel no more than one parsah per day. But he paid no attention to this and traveled with great speed — several parsaos per day in the manner of swift merchants. And on Sunday when he came home he departed early in the morning from the holy congregation of Yanov where he had spent the Sabbath — and on Saturday night he did not sleep as was his custom. And in the morning when dawn broke, he traveled from there with speed until he came home that same day while the day was still long. And also afterwards at home he conducted himself regarding his eating in a manner contrary to the doctors' advice — for he saw there was nothing to them at all, as they themselves admitted explicitly with a full mouth. And he elaborated on telling this, and greatly warned not to involve oneself with doctors and medicines at all, as is explained elsewhere [Sichos HaRan].
