SOURCES OF QUlNINE.

The Importance Of an adequate sup
pIy of this valuable medicine (qulnine)
always on hand, Independent of inter
ruption from wars, revolution, and
shortsighted legislation in South
America, cannot be over-estimated.
MANY an English magistrate and Eng
lish soldier has owed his life to quin-
inc. In Bengal 1t is familiar to the
natives RS quinyan, and we have rarely
found the smallest objection made to ii
on the score of caste when dispensed by
English hands. A plentiful supply Of
the unaduiterated article might be the
means of checking, in some measure,
the ravages Of the epidemic now known
as the Rurdwan fever. TO Englishmen
sent to punish Looshais orssNagas, on
the eastern frontier, aud to specimen or
explorers as a prophylactic, quinine is
! as essential n part of their equipment
as waterproof cOverlet or single
lnoled tent, Whether quinine will
ever be manufactured on such an extern
sive and profitable scale as to take
the place of opium in China may fairly
be doubted. But the very last repor
, from India shows that the plantations
of Government are thriving; that /
, large distribution of plants to the pub
lie Is still going on; that the crop rails
ed in tho Neilgherries alone was III,
, 600 pounds, some Of which was export
Ell to England, and that, after due pro
, vision for establishments, collection
buildings, roads. and repairs, there wa:
n clear net profit on the transaction o
some E32 900.
