Excerpt from Reports on Biological Standards: I. On the Physiological Standardization of Extracts of the Posterior Lobe of the Pituitary Body

IT has been part of the consistent policy Of the Council to promote researches which have as their Object the attainment Of well-based methods Of estimating the quantitative and qualitative values of biological substances used either in medical research work itself or in the preventive and curative work of the medical profession. The investigations of this kind which they have supported from public funds are chiefly centred at their National Institute for Medical Research, at Hampstead, which in that respect is designed to fulfil in the biological sphere Of medicine functions analogous to those of the National Physical Laboratory. So far as means and men are available, there are being actively prosecuted here systematic studies Of biological methods of measurement and assay necessary for the determination of standards of value, in the absence Of which the scientific progress of medicine has been, and still is being, greatly hampered. It is the design of the Council to publish the results of work of this kind as they become available, and they hope that the Report now presented may be only the first Of an extended series.
