Odds are it's m(l) (milliliter) for liquids and m(g) (milligram) for solids, probably period shorthand as it would be assumed from the known methods of measuring for dispensing. If that is the case 1/8th of a grain would be 8 mg. per teaspoon, which sounds about right for a cough syrup of that era (codeine was the main active ingredient). The other stuff was probably there to make the product 'better' than the competition's blend.

Competition is good.

Remembered from way back, don't remember when, that it's not ml or mg.

That stuff looks too old to use that.

It might be a "minim" used for apothecary things:

Yeah, that makes more sense. The suggestion it might be mol (mole) makes sense if you are calculating molar weight of a particular compound but not for dispensing it.

It could but that would seem to me to be an odd way to measure it for dispensing. Minim sounds likely.

A male patient is lying in bed in the hospital, wearing an oxygen mask over his mouth and nose. A young student nurse appears and gives him a partial sponge bath.

"Nurse,"' he mumbles from behind the mask, "are my testicles black?"

Embarrassed, the young nurse replies, "I don't know, Sir. I'm only here to wash your upper body and feet."

He struggles to ask again, "Nurse, please check for me. Are my testicles black?"

Concerned that he might elevate his blood pressure and heart rate from worrying about his testicles, she overcomes her embarrassment and pulls back the covers.

She raises his gown, holds his manhood in one hand and his testicles in the other.

She looks very closely and says, "There's nothing wrong with them, Sir. They look fine."

The man slowly pulls off his oxygen mask, smiles at her, and says very slowly, "Thank you very much. That was wonderful. Now listen very, very closely:

Are - my - test - results - back?"

Whoever thought that was particularly cool and worthy of sharing doesn't realize that fax bombs have always been a thing and many fax machines are designed to detect and prevent it. They throttle, store in memory, detect/delete all black and mostly black, etc.

Also, who doesn't use e-fax for incoming? I'm pretty sure the average mid-large company switched to e-fax before anon was relevant.

Churches haven't kept up.
There are some theological considerations when switching to e-fax. With a regular fax, paper goes in, paper comes out. Easy to understand. But e-fax is sort of like the soul going to heaven while the body is a moulderin'.

Yeah...no...cost.

You went there?

O.K. :thumbsup:
Can't be a church. No old guys in funny hats. Yet. In a century or two we should see the high holies sporting silk and lace versions of the Top Gun flight helmet. Then it will be a church.

That's not the point. A fax bomb, even if it gets through, is no better than setting fire to a brown paper bag filled with dog poop on Scientology's metaphorical front porch. It's so bush league, so what if it works? They bill Tom Cruise for one more auditing session and they can afford 100 truckloads of toner.
