The stomach is not only sickened and propelled 
io vomiting by emetics, but there are moral impul- 
ses which produce the same effects on the physio- 
logical system, by acting impetuously on the mental 
sensibility, and thence by reverse sympathetic 
action pbysically on the stomach. For example: 
sudden gushes of the depressing passions ; distress- 
ing intelligence; sudden disappointment of long ex- 
pected good; judicial sentence ofdeath, or reprieve; 
sudden injury done to those we love, beyond the 
mind’s impulse of probable controul or relief, with- 
in our power. The sight of disgusting and repul- 
sing objects ; as cadavera and dissections, &c. &c. 
The last observations are made here simply to 
call to the student’s mind, that there are suscepti- 
bilities of inverted action in the stomach, in some 
ersons, far greater thanin others; and generally, 
those liable to be thus morally affected, are, from 
their mawkish sensibility easily acted on, by any 
of the preceding classes of emetic agents. .
