EMULSIONS.

mucilaginous substances, such as gum arabic or yolk of egg, they are called

FEBRIFUGES, 
GENERALLY CALLED fever medicines, are given to allay the arterial and 
nervous excitements which accompany febrile action. They do this 
partly by their agency on the heart and arteries through the nervous 
system, and partly by increasing the secretions of the skin and kidneys.
