[TO-DAY,
LAYS
PLANS
FOR
MANY
YEARS
TO
COME.]
686.
An
Excellent
Way
to
Prevent
the
Taste
of
Medicines
is
to
have
the
medicine
in
a
glass,
as
usual,
and
a
tumbler
of
water
by
the
side
of
it;
take
the
medicine,
and
retain
it
in
the
mouth,
which
should
be
kept
closed,
and
if
drinking
the
water
be
then
commenced,
the
taste
of
the
medicine
is
washed
away.
Even
the
bitterness
of
quinine
and
aloes
may
be
prevented
by
this
means.
If
the
nostrils
are
firmly
compressed
by
the
thumb
and
finger
of
the
left
hand,
while
taking
a
nauseous
draught,
and
so
retained
till
the
mouth
has
been
washed
out
with
water,
the
disagreeable
taste
of
the
medicine
will
be
almost
imperceptible.
687.
Giving
Medicines
to
Persons.
Medicines
should
be
given
in
such
a
manner
that
the
effect
of
the
first
dose
shall
not
have
ceased
when
the
next
dose
is
given,
therefore
the
intervals
between
the
doses
should
be
regulated
accordingly.

Doses
of
Medicine
for
Different
Ages.
It
must
be
plain
to
every
one
that
children
do
not
require
such
powerful
medicine
as
adults
or
old
people,
and
therefore
it
is
desirable
to
have
some
fixed
method
of
determining
or
regulating
the
administration
of
doses
of
medicine.
Now
let
it
be
supposed
that
the
dose
for
a
full-grown
person
is
one
drachm,
then
the
following
proportions
will
be
suitable
for
the
various
ages
given;
keeping
in
view
other
circumstances,
such
as
sex,
temperament,
habits,
climate,
state
of
general
health,
and
idiosyncrasy.
