Constitutional.—It is not uncommon for an operator to be warned by the patient that excessive bleeding has pre- viously followed the infliction of a cut or the extraction of a tooth. It has been shown that a large proportion of these cases are due to insufficient coagulability of the blood owing to an insufficiency of calcium salts; it is therefore wise in such cases to administer one of the drills which are known to rapidly increase the coagulability of the blood. Calcium lactate, calcium chloride, and magnesium carbonate have all been shown to produce this effect in a marked degree within the space of an hour or so; the salt selected should be administered in a single dose of 3] the night before the proposed operation. The best and most pleasant to take is calcium lactate, which may be administered in compressed tablets or in a draught such as the following : fy Calcii lactatis . . . . . . 5j. Syrup ....... q.s.
