ASTRINGENTS. 



{For Diarrhoea and Dysentery.') 



Astringents appear to produce contraction on all living atii 

 mal tissues with which they come in contact, whether ^n 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 obliged to content ourselves with their effects, 

 and to prescribe them empirically. They are divided into astrin- 

 gents administered by the mouth, and those applied locally to 

 external ulcerated or wounded surfaces.
