To such an extent are the medicinal properties of abody dependent upon its solubility, that the physician mayeven adopt the maxim long since received by the chemist;viz: Corporation agunt nisi sint soluta; and, althoughthere may be many exceptions to this general proposition,yet they will be found neither more numerous, nor more in-explicable than those which limit the chemical acceptationof the same axiom. 158. The pharmaceutical operations of Maceration; Di-gestion; Infusion; Decoction, 8pc. are merely processes ofsolution, adapted to the particular nature of the body to bedissolved, and to the objects for which it is performed. 159. Maceration is an operation which is chiefly performedon vegetable matter, by which the soluble parts are dissolvedby steeping them in
