Drugs,
with
their
Properties
and
Doses.
The
various
drugs
have
been
arranged
according
to
their
properties,
and
the
doses
of
each
have
been
given.
Many,
however,
have
been
necessarily
omitted
from
each
class,
because
they
cannot
be
employed
except
by
a
medical
man.
The
doses
are
meant
for
adults.

Classes
of
Drugs.
Medicines
have
been
divided
into
four
grand
classes
1.
General
stimulants;
2.
Local
stimulants;
3.
Chemical
remedies;
4.
Mechanical
remedies.
691.
General
Stimulants.
General
stimulants
are
subdivided
into
two
classes,
diffusible
and
permanent
stimulants:
the
first
comprising
narcotics
and
antispasmodics,
and
the
second
tonics
and
astringents.
692.
Narcotics.
Narcotics
are
medicines
which
stupefy
and
diminish
the
activity
of
the
nervous
system.
Given
in
small
doses,
they
generally
act
as
stimulants,
but
an
increased
dose
produces
a
sedative
effect.
Under
this
head
are
included
alcohol,
camphor,
ether,
the
hop,
and
opium.
693.
Alcohol.
Alcohol,
or
rectified
spirit,
is
a
very
powerful
stimulant,
and
is
never
used
as
a
remedy
without
being
diluted
to
the
degree
called
proof
spirit;
and
even
then
it
is
seldom
used
internally.
It
is
used
externally
in
restraining
bleeding,
when
there
is
not
any
vessel
of
importance
wounded.
It
is
also
used
as
a
lotion
to
burns,
and
is
applied
by
dipping
a
piece
of
lint
into
the
spirit,
and
laying
it
over
the
part.
Freely
diluted
(one
part
to
eighteen)
with
water,
it
forms
a
useful
eye-wash
in
the
last
stage
of
ophthalmia.
