   PROP. VII.                                                       106

   That a first class of medicines, called Hæmatics, act while
   in the blood, which they influence. That their action is
   permanent.

     1. That of these some, called Restoratives, act by supplying,
        or causing to be supplied, a material wanting;
        and may remain in the blood.

     2. That others, called Catalytics, act so as to counteract
        a morbid material or process; and must pass out of
        the body.

   PROP. VIII.                                                      217

   That a second class of medicines, called Neurotics, act by
   passing from the blood to the nerves or nerve-centres, which
   they influence. That they are transitory in action.

     1. That of these some, called stimulants, act so as to
        exalt nervous force, in general or in particular.

     2. That others called Narcotics, act so as first to exalt
        nervous force, and then to depress it; and have also a
        special influence on the intellectual part of the brain.

     3. That others again, called Sedatives, act so as to depress
        nervous force, in general or in particular.

   PROP. IX.                                                        256

   That a third class of medicines, called Astringents, act by
   passing from the blood to muscular fibre, which they excite
   to contraction.

   PROP. X.                                                         268

   That a fourth class of medicines, called Eliminatives, act
   by passing out the blood through the glands, which they
   excite to the performance of their functions.
