Pharmacy symbols which when translated equal liquid measurements. They can be found in a good dictionary index explaining many of them exactly, but for the "3" it equals dram, for the "3" with an extra line through it, it means ounce. I'll bet any pharmacist would explain all the various symbols to you if you were interested. Get your prescription filled and learn about bottles at the same time!
