By infufion in water, the gummy, the extradive, and 
the faline, parts of vegetables, are leparated : and, by the 
intervention of the gum, the refin and oil are in part 
taken up by the fame menflruum, fo that in many inftances 
the whole virtue of a plant is obtained. In general, water 
takes up more by infufion from dry herbs than from 
frelh ones, particularly the new-dried ones. From ani¬ 
mal fubftances, water extracts the gelatinous and nu¬ 
tritious parts; and by this means glues, jellies, and 
broths, are prepared; and along with thefe it fome- 
times takes up principles of more aftivity. In making 
infufions, whether in cold or hot water, the ingredients 
are only fteeped in it, without boiling. It is the fame, 
whether proof fpirit, reflified fpirit, or any other men- 
ftruum, is employed, though thefe preparations have a 
different title. This form is preferred where the medi¬ 
cinal portion is foluble, and eafily feparated; when it is 
volatile, and would fly off by boiling; or where it would 
be loft or deftroyed by long maceration. In nervous dif- 
orders, infufions are beft made in a vinous, a fpirituous, 
or an alkaline, menflruum. Stomachic infufions fliould 
be moderately fpirituous. Cathartic ones, whether faline 
or refinous, if for extemporaneous ufe, are beft made with 
hot water. Infufions fliould not, if poflible, be fo fully 
impregnated with the ingredients as to make the medicine 
unpalatable; though the infufions of many of the fetid 
plants muft be neceffarily unpleafing. Many infufions 
are nioft agreeable when made with cold water, though 
probably weaker than when heat is employed. The cold 
infufion of camomile-flowers and the carduus benediftus 
are pleafant, and will not excite vomiting.
