Poole s Improvements in Enveloping Medicines. quantity has fallen the right hand quits the cock to lay hold of the upper part of the capsule, the second person ties on the thread, which is to be strong and fine, then the bottom of the capsule which was held between the thumb and finger is let go. This portion of the capsule being empty now affords larger space for the capivi, the thread is cut, and also the excess of the capsule. 5 Without the above precaution the expansion of the capivi might burst the thread. The capsule being now filled and closed the end where the tie exists should be dipped in gelatine or liquid gum to give it a uniform appearance.

But what I claim is, the mode of enveloping medicines by applying an organic substance or membrane, as above described. 15 In witness whereof, I, the said Moses Poole, have hereunto set my hand and seal, this Twelfth day of April, in the year of our Lord One thousand eight hundred and forty-four.
