About Apothecary Drams
An apothecary dram (dr ap) equals 3 scruples or 60 grains - approximately 3.888 grams. Part of the traditional apothecary system used by physicians and pharmacists from the Middle Ages through the 19th century, it was the standard unit for prescribing and dispensing medicines. Prescriptions written in the apothecary system used special symbols: the dram symbol (℈) and ounce symbol (℥) appear throughout historical medical records and old pharmacy ledgers. The apothecary dram differs from the fluid dram (a volume unit) and from the avoirdupois dram.
About Baht (weight)
The baht (บาท) as a unit of mass equals 15.244 grams and is the traditional gold weight standard of Thailand. While the baht is now primarily known as Thailand's currency, its weight meaning remains very much live: Thai gold jewellery is universally sold and priced by the baht weight. A '1 baht gold chain' in a Thai jewellery shop contains one baht (15.244 g) of gold alloy. Gold shops (ร้านทอง) throughout Thailand, and in Thai communities worldwide, post daily buying and selling prices per baht of gold.
