The metric system was employed also because it is in common use on the Continent of Europe, and is also a legal system in the United States since 1866, when Congress passed an act making its use lawful in the construction of contracts and in all legal proceedings. It is rapidly coming into general use in medicine and pharmacy, and its general adoption has the hearty endorsement of numerous scientific societies. At the present time a bill is passing through Congress which, when enacted, will make its employment compulsory in all departments of the Government after January 1, 1903. In the Appendix the relative values of the units of weights and measures of the metric system have been given in terms of theE nglish system, and vice versa. D. H. B. A ugust, 1901.
