A comparative study of premedication has been done in children weighing between 35 and 50 lbs. who were operated on for tonsillectomy or the correction of squint. The purpose of the study was to evaluate the effects of secobarbital and atropine in suppositories in comparison with meperidine and atropine given intramuscularly. The behaviour of the children was noted upon leaving for the operating room, during surgery, in the recovery room, and on return to their beds. Vagal responses were also noted.

Results of this study show that secobarbital and atropine was a better form of premedication for children than meperidine and atropine. The rectal absorption of atropine was good.
