method of concealing its nauseous fla

ly so adhesive in hot weather that it
would fasten itself to the organs of taste

doses of which are very small, some.
times not more than q hundredth part

With the aid of new kinds of ma
chinery the modern pill receives an ex-
quisite polish. A perfectly smooth and
shining surface is produced by the ac-
ton of two revolving plates. After that
the pill is stuck on a pin and dipped
into liquid preparations Of gelatin.
These, on drying, give 1t thin, hard,
soluble coating. For children pills are
made attractive by coating them with
