[5]Medical Thermometry, by Dr. C. A. Wunderlich, translated by W. Batherst Woodman, M.D. 1871, p. 6.
Listof articles required for carrying out the directions contained in this work:
A set of Apothecaries' Scales and Weights (with an extra set of Weights).1 Wedgwood Pestle and Mortar (medium size).2 Measure Glasses (up to 6 ounces).2 Minim Glasses.1 Imperial Pint (20 ounces) Pewter Measure.2 Glass Male (Urethral) Syringes.2 Pewter ditto.2 Glass Female (Vaginal) Syringes.1 Metallic ditto ditto (large).1 Enema Apparatus, fitted with metallic tubes, &c. Those with India-rubber orCaoutchouc flexible tubes are to be avoided, as they readily spoil in hot climates.1 Self-registering Clinical Thermometer.2 Earthenware Slabs for mixing Ointments, Pills, &c.3 Spatulas varying in size and length.1 Nest of Wedgwood or Tin Funnels.1 Nutmeg Grater.2 Lancets in a case.3 Yards of best Diachylon or Sticking Plaster (in tin case).2 Yards of Lint.1 Small Actual Cautery Iron. (For snake-bites, advised by Sir J Fayrer. See Appendix B.)1 Sharp Penknife or Scalpel. (ditto)6 Pieces of Whipcord. (ditto)
(These had better be purchased from some good firm of chemists and druggists.)
All should be kept in glass-stoppered, or well-corked bottles, protected, as far as possible, from the action of light and heat, and placed under lock and key; some special person being responsible for their being given out for use.
(It is as well to note here thatallthePoisonous drugsandtheir preparationsthat are being dispensed should beequally carefullycared for, and placed in a special locker of their own, marked POISON, under a caretaker, who ought to be held responsible for their safe custody.—Aitchison.)
The following should be marked:POISON(To be administered with caution).
(In a hot climate great care should be taken in handling and opening a bottle containing Liquor Ammoniæ, as on very little provocation, as shaking the bottle in trying to remove the stopper, which nearly always becomes fixed, it is almost certain to burst. The stopper therefore should be extracted with as little force as possible, and at the same time care should be taken that the contents do not fly up into the face and eyes.—Aitchison.)
The following should be marked:POISON(For external application only).
(When pure this is solid at a temperature of nearly 102° Fahr., above that it becomes liquid; before giving it out therefore for use, liquefy a sufficiency, by placing theunstopperedbottle in the sun, or near a fire, or in a little warm water, and then from the bottle measure out the quantity required; in doing so, remember the fact that whilst pure it is asevere caustic.—Aitchison.)
