IN MEASURING LIQUIDS 



A table spoonful is equal to half an ounce by measure. 



A dessert-spoonful is equal to one-fourth ounce, or two drachms. 



A tea-spoonful is equal to one drachm. 



A tea-cup is estimated to contain about four fluid ounces, or a gill. 



A wine glass about two fluid ounces. 



The above-named household implements vary in size and capacity, so 

 that usually it is difiicult to measure with them accurately ; yet, for nearly 

 all medicines, it will be near enough for all practical purposes, except- 

 ing some tea-cups are now made to hold six or eight ounces, so that if 

 the medicine to be measured is poison it is well to give smaller doses 

 if the exact capacity is not known. It is best for those having much 

 use for measures to procure a glass graduate which will measure 

 drachms and ounces.

 OF TORTURING HORSES.

 TREATING OUR FAITHFUL FRIEND.
