se solutions in the proportion of 1 to 500, or 1 to 1000. This means that there will be one part of the drug, or of the liquid medicine, to 500, or 1000 parts of water. For example if you were asked to make up a solution of bichloride of mercury in the strength of 1 to 4000, you would use one ounce of bichloride of mercury to four thousand ounces of water, or one grain of the mercury to four thousand drops of water,--one grain being equivalent to one drop.
