Scrupleton

Scrupleton: noun. A 100 scruples. As everyone knows the scruple is a unit of mass used by apothecaries, hence belonging to the Apothecaries' system. There are 3 scruples in a drachm and 288 scruples in a pound, but more importantly and much more sensibly, there are 100 scruples in a scrupleton. This specific unit of measurement was created by an apothecary from Brighton, who was well known for providing hemlock in the scrupletons.
