Phs. in writing 1 grain .06 gramme instead of 
<165 gramme, prescribe less than one grain; but the 
deviation is on the safe side. 
The use of the decimal line instead cf points pre- 
vents error. 
Cubic Centimetres (C. C.) used for grammes 
(Gins'), causes an error of 5 percent, excess.

4 THERAPEUTICS. 
ACID CHLORIC DIL. has been successfully 
used in diphtheria and has proven of considerable 
value as a tonic where digestion is impaired. 
Often administered in combination with Tincture 
Chloride of Iron in diphtheria and with Rhubarb 
or in'atonic dyspepsia. 
ACID HYDRIODIC. In those cases in which 
Iodide of Potassium is found to disagree or to occa- 
sion unpleasant symptoms, Hydriodic Acid has been 
found useful as a substitute, producing the desired 
effects with a much smaller dose. 
In bronchitis, chronic or sub-acute catarrhal dis- 
ease, asthma, goitre and adipose tumors, good re- 
sults have been observed from its use. 
• Usually administered in form of Syrup. 
ACID HYDROBROMIC exerts a specific ac- 
tion in hysterical conditions connected with ovarian 
excitement, also in the vomiting of pregnancy. It is 
further claimed to prevent the unpleasant effect of 
Quinia. 
ACID SALICYLIC has been administered with 
very remarkable success in acute rheumatism. 
AMMONIUM CARBAZOTATE has. been 
employed with good effect in anarmia, intermittent 
and malarial fevers, in doses of .01 to .06 gms. and 
in whooping cough in doses of .003 to .01 gms. 24 
Hall’s Metric Dose Book. 
APOMORPHIA HYDROCHLORATE 
administered subcutaneously to induce vomiting. 
AVA KAVA has been recommended as a remedy for 
gonorrhoea. Administered twice a day, before or af- 
ter meals. 
P RUC I US. Used as an astringent in 
diarrhoea and dysentery, which it appears to relieve 
without inducing constipation. 
BOLDO FOLIA. Tile properties attributed to 
lloldo are that it acts as a stimulent to digestion and
