Experimental pharmacology. A hand-book of methods for studying the physiological actions of drugs

About the Book

Pharmacology on the broadest scale encompasses the study of drugs from all possible points of view, and the information obtained in this way can be useful in a wide variety of conditions:

to a doctor to identify and properly treat cases of poisoning or to authorize the use of drugs for therapeutic purposes;

for the public to avoid harmful substances;

physiologists and pathologists, so that the information obtained as a result of studying the effects of poisons can be used for the development of their sciences.

Thus, the study of pharmacology can be limited, since one or more of these points of view occupies the first place in the mind of the researcher. The public only wants to know which substances are poisonous so that they can be avoided when their mode of action is indifferent. Those poisons that are suitable for use at the bedside will be of most interest to clinicians...
