Excerpt from Lectures on Pharmacology, Vol. 1: For Practitioners and Students In the following pages I have endeavoured to present, as far as possible in a practical form, a complete account of our pharmacological knowledge. The chapters do not correspond altogether with the individual lectures, but with this exception, the book is to all intents and purposes a reproduction, in both form and substance, of a course of lectures and demonstrations which extends over two semesters. It is not intended that this should be a text-book of Special Therapeutics, though reference has been made to various diseases and their treatment. Cases were selected for this purpose which presented many of the conditions of a scientific experiment, such cases are often much more instructive than a number of experiments on animals. I have avoided toxicological details, whether they refer to newly-discovered poisons, or to the effects of well-known poisons, or drugs, on particular organs, unless the details had some special significance for the medical side of pharmacology. I have also avoided any discussion on facts or theories which were not likely to be interesting to the majority of my students or readers.
