other generation. So far they have been

A TeaSDoonfuI.

When the doctor tells you to take a
teaspoonful'' of any medicine. you had
better get a graduated glass and not
trust to the capacity of the spoons Of
your domestic life. Medical men are
now calling attention TO the fact that
the ordinary teaspoon is of such a va.
rying capacity that no reliance is to be
placed upon it as a measure of quaint
ty. If you are only taking squllls and
paregoric for your cold, the difference
will not matter, but if the medicine is
some powerful drug it matters n lot.
A teaspoon is theoretically supposed
to hold sixty minims. but from tests
recently made II was FOUND that the or
binary teaspoon varies in capacity
from rs to 1870 minims. OF dessert
spoons examined two contained three
fluid drains and third nearly four. In
like manner tablespoons vary in ca
pacity from four to six drains. As the
teaspoon is the measure by which po-
tent fluid medicines are generally ad-
pinistered this huge increase in actual
capacity over the theoretical one is of
the greatest Importance and may ac-
count for many cases where patients
have died from "overdoses" of medi-
cine.
To take an example, a physician
might prescribe solution of strychnine

40 compounded that a theoretical tea
spoonful of the mixture would give
dose of one-sixteenth of grain. If in
taking his medicine the patient used
the ordinary domestic teaspoon, he
would get nearly one-tenth of a grain

might be fatal.
