The author provides an overview of the physiological actions of the extract, discussing its effects on blood pressure and uterine contractions. The author describes a method for testing the activity of the extract on the isolated uterus of the guinea pig, considering the choice of a standard, such as histamine or potassium chloride, for comparison. The author concludes that the isolated uterus method is the most accurate for quantitative comparisons with a standard, providing a detailed description of the apparatus, solutions, and procedure for carrying out the test. The book emphasizes the importance of establishing a common standard for ensuring the proper dosage of pituitary extracts in therapeutic use and facilitating research on the extract's physiological effects.
