Howard et al.,

Ratios as expressions of pharmaceutical concentration have been pretty much 
deprecated. Pharmaceutical manufacturers have changed their labeling from the 
old “1:1000” or “1:10,000” to a clear statement of concentration of grams per 
milliliter or milligrams per milliliter.
The “1:1000” expression meant “one gram per one thousand milliliters.” The old 
nomenclature was error-prone, and was phased out. Thank goodness. 

Interpreting 1:32 as “one gram per thirty-two milliliters,” I could not come up 
with the 3.125 percent sodium hypochlorite solution predicted by those 
directions, unless I’m making an error somewhere.
