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.
