MECHANICAL STIMULANTS. Hitherto I have discussed the action of some medicinal substances which enhance molecular motion of the body by undergoing oxidation within it, and I called them chemical stimulants, in contradistinction to another class which also possess this power, but in a manner altogether different to that of the former, as I now proceed to show. Among this class are found Quinia, Calumbo, Quassia, Gentian, Berberis or Barberry, Neetandra or Bebeera. We have already stated that it is possible to excite or accelerate molecular motion of the body by means of friction. Such an operation involves the antagonism of two forces moving in opposite or at least different directions, and is governed by two fundamental physical laws, viz., that motion takes place in the line of least resistance; and'that action and reaction are always equal, or, in oilier words, one force acting on another will always call forth a corresponding reaction, unless the former is out of all proportion to the latter. When two forces of equal strength meet each other from opposite directions, rest is produced, but an attacking force of comparative moderate strength will disturb the equilibrium of a force of somewhat less resistance, and cause it to move in a direction parallel to its own, to such a point where a mutual balance occurs. And although the latter tends to rebound and assume its former position, yet, by a series of such impactions, it will be forced to seek a new equilibrium in which it will remain after the attacking force has ceased to act. This phenomena is well illustrated by the gentle gale blowing over a field of tall grain, disturbing the latter and giving to it a wavelike motion; and it is well known that a steady and continuous breeze in one direction...
