When proper measures are not at hand, it is necessary to adopt some
other method of determining the quantities required, and therefore the
following table has been drawn up for that purpose:
A tumbler ....... \ / 10 ounces.
A teacup ........ | | 6 "
A wineglass .... | usually | 2 "
A tablespoon..... |- contains -| 4 drachms.
A dessertspoon... | about | 2 "
A teaspoon....... / \ 1 "
These quantities refer to ordinary sized spoons and vessels. Some cups
hold half as much more, and some tablespoons contain six drachms. A
medicine glass, which is graduated so as to show the number of
spoonfuls it contains, should be kept in every family.
