It is difficult indeed to imagine a more irksome task than learn-ing the pharmacological action of the various drugs which we use,without any systematic basis to simplify our efforts. The adventof this knowledge of the vegetative nervous system has made theproblem simpler not only academically, but also clinically. It hasbeen found that many alkaloids have a site of action which is quitespecific, and an action which is very or
