DIAPHORETICS 
As explained elsewhere in this booklet 
the skin plays a more important part in 
the elimination of waste products and 
impurities from the body than is gener- 
ally supposed. While the _eliminative 
functions of the bowels and kidneys are 
well Known, the fact often is overlooked 
that nature has assigned to the skin the 
duty of assisting in a substantial way in 
the process of elimination. 
It therefore is imperative, particularly 
when the other organs of elimination are 
not working well and there is need of 
improving elimination in every way as 
rapidly as possible, that the pores of the 
skin be kept open. Any drug or medicine 
which has the quality of inducing per- 
spiration and thus opening the skin pores, 
is known as a diaphoretice. If the per- 
spiration induced in this way is marked 
or visible, the drug or medicine may be 
referred to as a sudorific. 
There are a number of well-known bo- 
tanicals which may be employed for these 
purposes: Hlder berries, Elder flowers, 
Virginia Snake Root, Boneset, Juniper 
Berries, Wild Bergamot, Chamomile 
Flowers, Horsemint, Golden Rod. These 
should be used in the form of hot infu- 
sions. 
The diaphoretic virtues of any herb tea 
will be increased if the tea is taken hot, 
after a hot bath, and the user then gets 
in bed with plenty of covers. 
Among our prepared medicines for dia- 
phoretic use are No. 20 and No. 137.
