Excerpt from The Physiological Action of Drugs: An Introduction to Practical Pharmacology
The experiments described in this elementary work have been made as simple as possible, so that they may be performed by a medical student. For a similar reason they have been limited to those operations which can be performed upon a brainless frog. The law relating to experiments on animals renders necessary the destruction of the animal's cerebral hemispheres.
It is hoped that this small work may be of some value as a contribution to the knowledge of the physiological action of drugs. The results of the experiments are based upon numerous observations and graphic records; the drugs have been dissolved in normal tap-water saline solution, and, for the determination of the poisonous effects, have been administered by hypodermic injection under the skin of the back. The tracings are portions of continuous records, and have been checked by control experiments.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the physiological action of drugs through a series of experiments performed on brainless frogs, providing a foundation for understanding the effects of various substances on living organisms. The author, an established expert in the field, guides readers through the dissection and preparation of muscle and nerve tissues, demonstrating the impact of temperature, distilled water, and normal saline solutions on their function. By investigating the effects of drugs such as alcohol, ether, chloroform, chloral hydrate, strychnine, and hydrastine, the book delves into their influence on the heart, nervous system, and muscle excitability. Through these experiments, readers gain insights into the complex interactions between drugs and living tissues, highlighting the importance of understanding drug action for medical practice and pharmacological research.
