About this book
The Action of Medicines in the System is by Frederick William Headland and is the Prize Essay to which the Medical Society of London awarded the Fothergillian Gold Medal for MDCCCLII. The contents list names, among others, a chapter On the General Modes of Action of Therapeutic Agents introduced into the Stomach, treated of in Ten Propositions. The text says a line of distinction is drawn between two divisions of blood-medicines, and that some of them are natural to the blood.
The text says some other blood-medicines, although they enter the blood, are not natural constituents of the vital fluid, and cannot remain there, for they are noxious and foreign to it. The text says the most important and direct remedies for Scrofula are to be found in Iodine and its compounds. The text says that whether any precise connexion may exist between these various actions of Opium is a difficult thing to determine.
