Abstract
THE British Pharmacological Society proposes to establish a new journal with the above title, to be published by the British Medical Association. Pharmacology and chemotherapy are two aspects of the same subject, dealing with the action of drugs on man and other organisms. It is particularly concerned with new therapeutic discoveries. This subject is rapidly expanding, and the discovery of many new remedies has had a profound influence on the teaching and practice of medicine and has stimulated much new clinical investigation. Not only pharm- acologists but also clinicians, chemists, biochemists, physicists, bacteriologists, pathologists and other biologists, working in both university and industrial laboratories, have contributed to these advances, but their work is scattered throughout numerous journals. The new journal will bring together work, in all these fields, which is concerned with the effects of chemical substances on animals, living tissues and their chemical systems. It will publish original work in all branches of pharmacology and experimental chemotherapy, including the biochemical and pathological aspects of this subject. Provision will also be made for shorter communications and for brief notes on technique.
