PART III. THERAPEUTIC CLASSIFICATION OF DRUGS This classification is based on the use of drugs to meet therapeutic indications. The order of the classes is arranged on the plan of progression from the class that lists the drugs used for external action to the class that lists drugs used for action on the most vital parts of the body. Under each class the drugs are named in alphabetical order, as an order of preference is impossible, one drug being more therapeutically efficient in one condition and another drug more therapeutically efficient in another condition. Later under each class is discussed the whole subject for which the class stands and briefly the action and use of the most important drugs. The drugs later described in detail appear in italics in this classification. FIRST DIVISION FOR LOCAL USE CLASS I. Drugs Used to Destroy Microorganisms. (a) To disinfect.
