| The British Pharmacopoeia contains a tincture of gelsemium, the dose of which is from five to fifteen minims. |
| An example of this in Beowulf are the letters 'bet' in line 6 on folio 198v followed by two minims joined at bottom with a stroke through the second minim. |
| More startling, his manic-depressive nature is expressed by sudden changes of tempo, juxtaposing passages in semiquavers with slow-moving minims and semibreves. |
| Evaporate by a water bath to a proper consistence, adding oil of chamomile, 15 minims at the end of the process. |
| The maximum dose of croton oil is two minims, one-fourth of that quantity being usually ample. |
| The next major change was the advent of lower-value coins in the form of silver minims, struck or cast bronze, or cast potin. |
