Excerpt from The Pharmacopeia and the Physician: A Series of Articles Which Originally Appeared in the Journal of the American Medical Association, Discussing the Chief Substances in the United States Pharmacopeia, Classifying Them According to Their Uses and Describing Their Methods of Combination And The nucleus of the material that now comprises the chapters of this book was originally compiled to assist in the introduction of the Pharmacopeia of the United States, its scope and contents and the possibilities and uses of official remedies, to the physicians of this country. While it is true that the Pharmacopeia itself may be considered as being, in a certain sense, a reference book on pharmacology, the information that it contains is not of a nature to indicate the various actions of the several drugs on the animal organism or to suggest the therapeutic uses of official remedies. Schmiedeberg asserted, many years ago, that the proper function of pharmacology is to indicate the way, or to point out the material that is use ful, to the clinician and not to give detailed dirce tions for the therapeutic uses of the remedies them selves.
