We have studied some effects of the SOEUMIN-HYANGSAYANGYUI-TANG (S.H.Y.) on the C.N.S. and on the intestines. Several empirical remarks, depending on the different treatments, are investigated throughout this study as follows; 1) The treatment, using atropine bromide, represses the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 2) The treatment, using pheniramine maleate, seems not be able to repress the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 3) The treatment, using cyproheptadine, seems not be able to repress the effect of the S.H.Y. on the contractive force of intestines. 4) The analgesic effect as well as the antipyretic effect are remarked while the acetic acid is applied. 5) The suppressive action on the convulsion, induced by strychine, is not observed. However the significant effect on the convulsion induced by picrotoxin is remarked. 6) The sedactive effect of the S.H.Y., using the Rotor rod test, is not obviously observed.
