2. "a primary goal of pharmacology is to prevent disease."
3. "penicillin is one of the initial drugs isolated from a natural source."
4. "pharmacologists began synthesizing drugs in the laboratory in the nineteenth
century."

2. An early goal of pharmacology was to relieve human suffering.
3. Initial drugs isolated from complex mixtures included morphine, colchicine, curare,
and cocaine, but not penicillin.
