Hi Larry,
Perhaps there's a unit of measure of which I'm not aware (the "m" you refer
to above), but 1 cc is equal to 1 ml.

Ah--"m" is for "minims"; there are 60 minims per dram, 8 drams per ounce.

See:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apothecaries%27_system

Minims are also often referred to as "drops", which would make a lot
of sense out of his measuring `drops'.

If he's measuring 17 minims, that would be just about 1 ml.
