Minimum, "the least part or portion." The 60th part of a fluidrachm. This measure has been introduced by the London College of Physicians, in consequence of the uncertainty of the size of the drop, (see Gutta.) The subdivision of the wine pint has, accordingly, been extended to the 60th part of the fluidrachm; and glass measure, called "minim-measures," have been adopted by the London College.
