MASTER: " Yes, it is good to listen to these things. But nothing will

happen except at the right time. What can quinine do for a fever

patient when he runs a high temperature? Only when his temperature

comes down through the use of 'fever mixture' or a purgative should

quinine be prescribed. There are patients who get rid of their fever

even without quinine. A child said to his mother, when he was put to

bed, 'Mother, please wake me up when I feel the call of nature.' The

mother said: 'My child, I shall not have to wake you. The urge itself

will wake you.'
