Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide in Pharmacology The following exercises are designed to introduce the student personally to some of the more important facts of pharmacology. They have been selected so as to present little difficulty to one versed in ordinary chemic and physiologic technic, and require but little help on the part of the instructor. The pharmaceutic and toxicologic exercises (Part I) are confined strictly to the bare essentials needed by students who intend to become general practitioners of medicine. Especial stress has been laid on the facts which have a direct practical bearing. The experiments on animals (Part Ii) have been arranged in groups, to illustrate various types or phenomena, to bring out the similarities and differences of the response of organs to pharmacologic agents, rather than by individual drugs. This arrangement articulates better with the student's experience in physiology and pathology, on which pharmacology is largely founded. It is, therefore, more natural, as well as more interesting and inspiring. It has been the practice of the author to have this experimental course precede the didactic course. The latter, dealing with individual drugs, can then be based upon phenomena with which the student is already familiar. The exercises are arranged for a course of thirty working periods of two to three hours. Additional experiments, for longer courses, demonstrations, etc., are introduced as optional. They can, of course, be indefinitely extended by the use of dose tables and of the "Technical Notes." These are intended primarily for the instructor and investigator, indicating the sources where more detailed information and different methods may be found.

Excerpt from Laboratory Guide in Experimental Pharmacology: Directions for the Course Given in the University of Michigan In the years which have elapsed since these notes were first put into permanent form the book has been placed in service in different pharmacological laboratories over the country, and in this revision which the progress of the science makes necessary, the suggestions which have been received from teachers of the subject have proved most welcome and helpful. It would seem that the wish expressed in the preface to the first edition that these notes might prove useful to others has been realized. It need hardly be pointed out that the object of the book is not to furnish an exhaustive treatise on laboratory methods, but rather a simple outline of experiments which can easily be carried out by the average medical student in any laboratory equipped for the purpose. That the arrangement is entirely practical and workable is proved by the fact that these directions essentially as here published, have been in use in this laboratory for considerably over twenty years. The more important changes which have been made in this revision may be mentioned shortly. The section on pharmaceutical work has been enlarged by the introduction of directions for making a few preparations other than those already included in the earlier edition of the book, and all of these directions have been collected and placed in the early part of the book. This will allow of the omission of this section entirely in schools in which medical students are given a special course in pharmacy.

Excerpt from A Laboratory Guide in Materia Medica and Pharmacy The subject of Materia Medica is difficult to present more on account of deciding what to exclude than what to include. It is granted that there are many things in Materia Medica impossible and useless to memorize. On the other hand, students should have an opportunity to examine and become more or less familiar with the synonyms, origin and physical characteristics of the most used drugs, and laboratory work is believed to be the best means of learn ing these things. The grouping of the drugs for studying Materia Medica is ar ranged to correspond with the work in Pharmacology but other wise is purely arbitrary.
