| Drugs on Trial is an excellent but highly specialized account of pharmaceutical experimentation in the eighteenth century. Through extensive case analyses of three specific topics, Maehle demonstrates that eighteenth-century physicians and scientists not only produced a very large number of case reports but also carried on a large number of pharmaceutical experiments of different sorts. Tests were conducted "in vitro," on animals, and in some cases on human subjects. Maehle shows that this experimentation "did contribute considerably to the theoretical understanding of drugs." The book includes some discussion of the methodological and ethical issues these experiments raised. The three topics discussed in detail are: medicines to dissolve urinary stones (lithontriptics), Peruvian bark (cinchona, which contains quinine) and opium. For those (few) readers who have reason to be seriously interested in the topic, this monograph offers a readable, clearly written, thoroughly researched and reliable guide to a subject that has not previously been adequately investigated. |
