To Nancy:
 
>I have a quick question ...  how the heck do you cut a Pepto Bismol pill
>into 1/16ths???
 
        Actually, it is 15ths, and I would suggest a razor blade or a pill
cutter.  First cut it into thirds, and then each of those pieces into fifths.
 Pill cutters are good for cutting without crushing - check with your local
pharmacist -
 
        You can then crush the fragments into powder and administer with a
little laxatone or baby food - the company that makes it - Schering - says that
it can be given with food....
 
        Don't forget - every six hours for ulcers....
