The figures in these two tables represent the amounts of 
Quinine Sulphate containing 7 molecules of water of crys- 
tallization. 
In this it will be noticed that in the quantities weighed 
none of the five dispensers arrived at absolute accuracy, 
two came within the range of practical accuracy, and the 
remaining three are outside this mark; none measured 
within the range of either absolute or practical accuracy, 
and none came within the range of either absolute or prac- 
tical accuracy in the strength of their solution.
