§ 114 With the exception of these narcotic substances, in experiments with moderate doses of medicine on healthy bodies, we observe only their primary action, i.e., those symptoms wherewith the medicine deranges the health of the human being and develops in him a morbid state of longer or shorter duration.
Explanation
Excluding narcotic substances, when we conduct experiments using moderate doses of medicine on healthy individuals, we typically observe only the primary action of the medicine. This primary action refers to the symptoms that arise when the medicine disrupts the individual’s health, inducing a temporary or prolonged state of illness.
