Loewi discovered, Dr. Dale proved, that nervous impulses are the result of chemical action, not of electrical action as had formerly been supposed.
This inconstancy gave Sir Henry Dale, a big, diligent Englishman, opportunity to pioneer on his own with many a discovery in the chemistry of nerves.
Nonetheless, acetylcholine, typical object of what Nobel Prizewinners Dale and Loewi call autopharmacology, is being used by enterprising doctors to treat arterial hypertension, inflamed arteries, gangrene of feet and hands, profuse sweating in tuberculosis, flaccidity of the bladder and intestines, bed sores.

”Dale and I proved that a hen is not a duck”
He examined the structure of certain proteins and showed that crystalline albumin of eggs from hens and duck differed greatly in their immunological specifications although their overall amino acid composition was very similar, and from his studies suggested a different distribution of the constituent amino acids in different proteins.
In this he worked in collaboration with Sir Henry Hallett Dale and used to comment that «Dale and I proved that a hen was not a duck».
