![The Metric System in Medicine Old Style. Jletric. m ] or gr. ] = f 3 j or 3 i = 4 f 3 3 or 3 i = 32 06 grm. The decimal Ujie, instead of points, makes errors impossible. As .06 (drug) is less than a grain, while 4. and 32. (vehicle) are more than the drachm and ounce, there is no danger of giving too large doses of strong drugs. C. c. (cubic centimetres), used for grms. (grammes), causes an error of five per cent, (excess). A teaspoonful is usually five grammes; a tablespoonful, twenty grammes.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21206296_1245.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
