“Cannot drink anything but hot drinks during fever.” – A.O. Hardenstein.
The thirst and desire for warm drinks is as marked as under Cedron, and both remedies have proved very efficacious in the treatment of intermittents occurring in the lower Mississippi valley. The late Dr. Hardenstein, of Vicksburg, relied upon Cascarilla when he found this symptom present, and says it rarely failed to cure.
