ie THE MkDICATION OF INFANTS.-From
1 experiments made by Dr. Lewald, it ap
e pears that sundry medicines are most ad
i vantageously introduced into the system of
an infant through the mother's milk. Thus
*t of iron a larger quantity can be adminis
tered to the infant in this way than by any 57,1
other means. Bismuth, however, is elimin
ated in the milk only in very small quan
tity. Iodine does not appear in the milk J
t until ninety-sir hours after taking it "
I, iodide of potassium appears four hours
after ingestion, and continues to be
eliminated for eleven days. Arsenic ap- HA
pears in the milk at the end of seventeen
hours, and continues for at least forty
hours. Sulpbhae of quinine is eliminated
very easily, and a child suffering from in
termittent fever was cured by administer- 28ai
ino qninine to the nurse.
