Two drops of extract to an ounce of syrup are equal to 4 1/2 drachms to a gallon.
Three drops of extract to an ounce of syrup are equal to 6 1/2 drachms to a gallon.

NOTE.—The estimate 450 drops to the ounce, while accurate and reliable enough in this particular relation, must not be relied upon for very exact purposes, in which, as has frequently been demonstrated, the drop varies within a very wide range, according to the nature of the liquid, its consistency, specific gravity, temperature; the size and shape of the aperture from which it is allowed to escape, etc.
Fluid Measure.—u. S. Standard, Or Wine Measure.
Eight fluidrachms are equal to 1 fluidounce.
Sixteen fluidounces are equal to 1 pint.
Two pints are equal to 1 quart.
Four quarts are equal to 1 gallon.
One pint of distilled water weighs about 1 pound.
Percentage Solutions.
For 1/50 per cent, or 1 in 5,000 solution, use 1 3/4 grains of the medicament.
For 1/20 per cent, or 1 in 2,000 solution, use 4 3/8 grains of the medicament.
For 1/10 per cent, or 1 in 1,000 solution, use 8 3/4 grains of the medicament.
For 1/4 per cent, or 1 in 400 solution, use 21 7/8 grains of the medicament.
For 1/2 per cent, or 1 in 200 solution, use 43 3/4 grains of the medicament.
For 1 per cent, or 1 in 100 solution, use 87 1/2 grains of the medicament.
For 2 per cent, or 1 in 50 solution, use 175 grains of the medicament.
For 4 per cent, or 1 in 25 solution, use 350 grains of the medicament.
For 5 per cent, or 1 in 20 solution, use 437 1/2 grains of the medicament.
For 10 per cent, or 1 in 10 solution, use 875 grains of the medicament.
To make smaller quantities of any solution, use less water and reduce the medicament in proportion to the amount of water employed; thus 1/2 imperial pint of a 1 per cent solution will require 43 3/4 grains of the medicament.
