The effects are the same as if they digested or administered them by normal means. Certain people were acutely sensitive and could distinguish and name the various substances.

Joseph Rodes Buchanan ( 1814 – 1899 ) was an American
physician and professor of physiology at the Eclectic
Medical Institute in Covington,
Kentucky. Buchanan proposed the
terms Psychometry and Sarcognomy.
Buchanan came to prominence in the 1840s when mesmerism and
spiritualism were popularized. He is given credit for coining the term " Psychometry "
(soul-measuring) as the name of his own "science" whereby knowledge
is acquired directly by the "psychometer" (the instrument of the
soul).
