DEOBSTRUENT Mepicrngs, are thofe to which are 
attributed powers of removing obftruétions, which have taken 
place in any of the veflels of the body. This general term, ac- 
cording to the older writers on the Materia Medica, includes 
a variety of medicines of different qualities ; thus 
obferves, in different obftruGions, relaxants, refolvents, at- 
tenuants, evacuants, and ftimulants, are indicated, accord- 
ing to the nature of the obftruéting liquids, whether phleg- 
matic or inflammatory, acrid, or not aciid, &c e hi

known capable of penetrating, as {uch, to the veffels of any 
particular vifcus. The only mode in which obftruétions, 
as they have been called, can be removed, is, by the ufe of 
local ftimulants to the veflels of the part, where that is prac- 
ticable, or of general ftrengtheners to the fyftem where it 
is not, or of both combined.

gives the wound, (asthe wheel, which runs over hi; body, ) 
but all things which move with it and help to make the wound 
more dangerous, (as the cart and loading, which increaf
