So, also, the thirst is not marked during the fever of Cinchona, even in the most developed hot stage, see 29, 1177, 1180, 1182, 1184, 1193, 1203, 1221, except some burning of the lips, 1185, or dryness of them, see 406, 1203, although this dryness explains the expression “some thirst during the heat,” 1187; for the “thirst during the transient heat,” 1194, does not denote completely developed feverish heat. Much more, however, does the thirst appear after the heat, 309, 395, 1148, or what is the same thing, during the sweat, 1228 The feverish heat, accompanied by stinging over the whole body seemed to make an exception, see 1181, 1192. *).
