MEDICINES ACTING ON THE SKIN. 



Are diaphoretics, sudorifics, and anhydrotics. 



Diaphoretics and Sudorifics. — Increase the secretion of sweat, 

 from the skin. 



The term sudorifics is applied to the more powerful diapho- 

 retics ; they are divided into : 



1. Simple Diaphoretics. — Those which enter the circula- 

 tion and stimulate the sudoriferous glands during their elimina- 

 tion, as jaborandi, liquor ammonia acetatis, spirits nitrous ether, 

 alcohol, salicylates, etc. 

 T^n 1 2. Nauseating Diaphoretics. — Act by producing relaxation 



and dilatation of the capillaries, as tartar emetic, ipecac, lobelia, 

 Dover's Powder, and hot water. 



3. Refrigerant Diaphoretics. — Act by reducing the force of 

 the circulation as , potassium and ammonium salts, aconite, ve- 

 ratrum, etc., or by acting directly on the nerve center in the 

 medulla, which excites sweating, as pilocarpine and nicotine. 



Function of Skin. — Besides being protective, h to excrete 

 effete material from the system and secrete sweat and sebaceous 

 matter.
