Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Student's Review, or Examinations on Therapeutics, Materia Medica, and Pharmacy: Adapted Especially to the Course of Lectures Delivered in the University of Pennsylvania Their operation may be either vital, chemical or mechanical; and the sanative impression which they produce, either absolute or relative, primary or second ary, local or general. By what methods are medicines thought to operate upon other and distant parts of the system from that to which they are applied, and how do they differ in their peculiar tendencies? They may operate in three ways: 1, by absorption; 2, by nervous communication; and 3, by revulsion. They differ widely in their elective affinities, some acting by preference, on one organ, and some on others, as the stomach, bowels, kidneys, &c.; and that, too, often independent of the parts of the body to which they are applied.
