After taking the Eaux Bonnes a few
days, they produce a feeling of heat and constriction in throat and
trachea, a slight difficulty of deglutition, and at the same time the
fauces are red and highly injected. The digestive and secretive organs
are quickened and increased; the circulatory and nervous functions
partake of the excitement; there is restlessness and sleeplessness,
while the intellectual faculties are roused to unwonted power and
activity. The cutaneous exhalations are increased and have a sulphurous
odor.® 2000
