Chemical
Definition:
(a.) Pertaining to chemistry; characterized or produced by the forces and operations of chemistry; employed in the processes of chemistry; as, chemical changes; chemical combinations.
(n.) A substance used for producing a chemical effect; a reagent.

Galvanism
Definition:
(n.) Electricity excited by the mutual action of certain liquids and metals; dynamical electricity.
(n.) The branch of physical science which treats of dynamical elecricity, or the properties and effects of electrical currents.
