Re: Medicine Spoons
J. & S. MAW
Pewter example marked: 'MAW / ALDERSGATE St.'
By the 1830's "improved medical spoons" were listed in three sizes in Maw's catalogue; they were priced at 1/4, 1/8 and 2/3 respectively. The method by which the spoon was to be used is clearly demonstrated in illustration 5. The cut is reproduced from the " Catalogue of Surgical Instruments " issued by I. & S. Maw. London, in 1832". One of these early pewter spoons marked J. & S. Maw (not illustrated) is in the Wellcome Historical Medical Museum;
it is 6-3 in. in length.
Solomon Maw used the same illustration in his 1839 catalogue' published at his " manufactory at No. 11 Aldersgate Street." The firm was restyled J. & S. Maw when the founder George Maw retired in 1828 and left the business to be carried on by his sons, J. H. Maw and Solomon Maw. Maw's business was removed to Aldersgate Street in 1834, J. H. Maw retiring shortly afterwards. George Maw was described as a " pewterer," the style of surgical instrument makers of that time, when pewter was universally employed for syringes, bleeding bowls, etc. The spoons marked " Maw Aldersgate St." must therefore be of later date than the "J. & S. Maw" spoons. Pewter or Britannia metal medical spoons appear again in the 1869 and 1882 lists—the latter issued by S. Maw, Son & Thompson, the designation of the firm between 1870 and 1901. The fluid capacity of these spoons varies from ½ oz. to 1 oz.

SALVE KNIFE
New Jersey Aluminum Company - Newark, N. J. - 1903
The New Jersey Aluminum Company, of Newark., N. J., have received an order for 125,000 spatulas or salve knives shown in cut. The spatula was made from a carefully devised model, and its curves are adapted to those of the human body, and permits of a ready application of any salve or medicinal preparation. Doctors and nurses pronounce it a handy tool. The knife is made out of heavy stock and has much more rigidity than the ordinary stamped aluminum article. The spatulas were ordered by the Denver Chemical Manufacturing Company, of New York, who distribute them for advertising their preparation, “Antiphlogistine.”

Re: Medicine Spoons
Attention has again been called to the possible variations in the capacity of teaspoons by a pharmacist who took the trouble to collect a number of teaspoons from different customers. He found them to vary in capacity from 90 to 120 minims. The attention of the pharmacist was drawn to the matter by the complaint of a customer for whom he had dispensed a mixture containing 2 grains of morphine sulphate in an ounce mixture the dose of which was 1 drachm every hour until relieved. After the third dose had been taken the customer complained of distressing effects, and upon investigation it was found that he was using a teaspoon which held 110 minims, and was therefore taking much more than the dose prescribed. In the days of the old-fashioned silver teaspoons the variation in capacity was almost negligible, but since the introduction of electro-plate makers seem to vie with each other in increasing the size of spoons. Dessertspoons and tablespoons also vary considerably in measurement, and prescribers would be well advised to insist upon their patients using graduated In these days of standardised galenical preparations and scientific prescribing the teaspoon a a measure is obviously out of place.
