This section is from the book "The Art Of Dispensing", by Peter MacEwan. See also: Calculation of Drug Dosages.
For amount of liquid to be made, see top horizontal line. For parts of medicament required, see first perpendicular column. For percentage strength, see second perpendicular column. Thus, to make five fluid ounces of a 10-per-cent. (1-in-10) solution of camphor requires 240 grains of the drug; to make 16 fluid ounces of one-tenth of 1 per cent. (1-in-1,000) solution of bichloride of mercury would require 8 grains of the drug. - Year Book of Pharmacy, 1912.
These are from the British Pharmacopoeia of 1914 when they are given there. Those marked with an asterisk (*) are from other source.
