Brewer’s yeast solution was  injected subcutaneously at the region of thigh in all the rats in  the dose of 1ml/100gms body weight.After 1 hour of injection  of yeast, corresponding test drug was administered for all the  groups. Rats of Group 1 which was administered with distilled  water 1ml/100gms of body weight. Animals of Group 2 were  administered with paracetamol suspension at the dose of  0.75ml/100gm of the body weight by using feeding syringe. Similarly rats of Group 3 were administered with decoction of trail drug at the dose of 1ml/100grms of body weight. After administering corresponding drugs to each group hourly  rectal temperature of each rat was noted till successive 14 hours.
