THE AcTtoM OF DIFFERENT DRuos upo r
THE MENrAL FAcyLrIEs.-Each drug.
besides iS general and special action
upon the organs of the body. exerts a.
the same time an action upon the me n .
tai faculties. The sti:nulants increase
to q greater or less degree the quantity
OF blood which flows into the brain in
given time; as consequence of this.
the whole brain becomes excited. pro-
vidcd the stimulation does not exceed
. certain limit; but the local excite ment
differs according to the stimulan, en-
ployed. Thus ammonia, musk, castor
wine and ether, increase the power OF
imagination and perception; the empy-
eumatic oils cause peevishness, melan-
choly and yishen. Phosphorus acts
uPon the generative functions, so also
does iodine, and, at the same time, in
duces sadness. Cantharidss -excitos.
and camphor diminishes the sexual pro-
pensity. Arsenic causes melancholy:
gold. hope; mercury increases sensitive
ness (mentnD; and carbonic gas, placi.
dity. Among the narcotics, opium
stimulates the sexual desires, the intel>
lectual powers. and the Imagination
Relladonna dulls the mental faculties.
cicuta wsakens the understanding: disi,
tails diminishes, saffron increases the
sexual desires; canadis causes ealmness.
and amsnita mureura courages; tobacco
operates in the same way as opium.
