THE IRRIGATION AGh 



a woman, with whom at a previous 

 visit I had left some powders done 

 up in papers, with instructions to 

 take one every three hours. I was 

 surprised when she asked me if I 

 could not give her some liquid 

 medicine that would answer as 



well. On inquiry why, she' told 

 me that "she couldn't swallow the 

 powders and that it was very hard 

 to chew them." I learned that she 

 had taken the whole "business" 

 both powder and paper.
