    I have obtained a glass measure, divided into the proportions of one drachm, two drachms, half an ounce, one ounce, and one ounce and a half, &c. under the appellation of tea and table spoons,*— r r and this I shall recommend every patient to procure, as a safe and clean measure, and to prevent the injury which spoons may receive from being used in administer¬ ing medicines, -f* * They are to be procured from Mr. Kirk’s glass- warehouse, Liverpool. + It may be observed, that the use of the above measure may induce the compounders of medicines to be more attentive to the size of their phials, as any defi¬ ciency will be easily detected by the medical attendant, or by the patient himself.
