Abstract:
Mainly professional correspondence, class lecture notes, and records of experiments of a professor of pharmacology and toxicology at the University of Wisconsin. Many papers relate to his research projects on the thyroid gland, antidotes such as picrotoxin for cocaine and barbiturate overdosage, narcotic addiction, the chemotherapy of malaria, and the use of mapharsen to treat syphilis. The collection also includes a diary recording his trip to Guatemala in 1943 for field observation of tropical diseases, copies of several speeches and articles written by him, and some records of royalties he received on drugs he had developed.
