The apothecary system, now obsolete and rarely used, has units called grains, minims, drams, ounces, pounds, pints, Mathematical Calculations and quarts. The household system, with units of drops, tea- spoons, tablespoons, and cups, is infrequently used in health Most drug orders and labels are expressed in metric units of care agencies but may be used at home.

The apparent increase in spindle activity mentioned by Wallin, Hongell & Presynaptic inhibition of Ia terminals Hagbarth (1973) was probably due to the inability of parkinsonian patients to relax completely (Burke, Ia terminals to soleus motoneurones Hagbarth & Wallin, 1977).

The older tetracyclines are excreted mainly Tetracyclines and sulfonamides are older, broad-spectrum, in urine; doxycycline is eliminated in urine and feces, and bacteriostatic drugs that are rarely used for systemic infec- minocycline is eliminated mainly by the liver.
