British pharmacologist A. J. Clark conducted important research into the physiological reactions caused by drugs, with groundbreaking attention to the response to different doses of the same drug and the concentration of a drug and its effect at a receptor. Late in his career he publicly railed against popular but ineffective herbal and patent medicines, and pseudo-scientific advertising that sometimes fools even physicians into believing that such fraudulent remedies have some medicinal value.
