Article date: March 1957

Experimental conditions affecting tests of atropine‐like agents for antagonism of pilocarpine‐induced salivation in rabbits have been examined. A simple method of assay of such agents is described. It gave results of fair accuracy and reproducibility, permitted a full statistical analysis, and provided an estimate of the error.
