FEBRIFUGES 



(ffivcr Balls and Powders), 



Generally called fever medicines, are given to allay the arte- 

 rial 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 secre- 

 tions of the skin and kidneys.
