ASTRINGENTS 



Appear to produce contraction on all living animal tissues with wliicli 

 they come in contact, wliether in the interior or on the exterior of the body; 

 and whether immediately applied or by absorption into the circulation. But 

 great doubt exists as to the exact mode in which they act ; and, as in many 

 other cases, we are obHged to content ourselves with their effects, and to 

 prescribe them empirically. They are divided into astringents administered
