Revellent, Revulsive,Deflectens, Derivans, Derivatorius, Antispasticus, Revulsivus, Revulsorius, (F.) Derivatif, Revulsif. Same etymon. A remedy, which by producing a modified action in some organ or texture derives from the morbid condition of some other organ or texture. Revellents are amongst the most important remedies: they include, indeed, every physical and moral agent which is capable of modifying the function of innervation, and therefore almost every article of the materia medica. The following is list of the chief local Derivatives: 1. Epispastics. -Acidum Aceticum, Acidum Nitricum, Acidum Sulphuricum, Allium, Ammonia, Ammoniacum, Asafoetida, Cantharis, Capsicum, Galbanum, Olea Essentialia, Pix Abietis, Sinapis, Caloric, Friction. 2. Vesicants. -Ammonia, Argenti Nitras, Cantharis, Cantharis Vittata, Hydrargyri lodidum rubrum, Ranunculus, Sinapis, Caloric. 3. Suppurants. -Acida Mineralia, Antimonii et Potassae Tartras, Cantharis, Mezereum, Pix Abietis, Sabina, Tiglii Oleum, Fonticulus, Setaceum. 4. Escharotics. -A. Erulents. -Acidum Aceticum, Acida Mineralia, Alumen Exsiccatum, Argenti Nitras, Cupri Sub-Acetas, Cupri Sulphas, Sabina, Saccharum Purissimum. B. Actual Canterants. -Caloric, White Hot Iron, Moxa. C. Potential Cauterants. -Acidum Arseniosum, Acidum Nitricum, Acidum Sulphuricum, Antimonii Murias, Argenti Nitras, Calx, Potassa, Potassa cum Calce, Zinci Chloridum.
