 the body, and are used both externally and internally. Externally, cold and hot

1050. Tonics, Ai^teratives, and Restoratives.— These agents give tone and 

 impart strength to the portions of the body for which they are specially adapted. 

 They are usually given when the system or any one or more parts of it become 

 weakened and relaxed from over-exertion. The tissues of the body, when not 

 diseased, have an innate power within themselves of replacing the waste, 

 therefore the essentials most needed as a tonic and restorative are, a good 

 supply of fresh air, pure water, sound and proper food, good ventilation, 

 draiaage, and clean beds. Restorative tonics are vegetable bitters, and aromatics, 

 combined with some of the alkalies, and also the mineral acids, and mineral salts.
