People in using quinine should be
careful thai they get good grade Of the
article or that they are not being fooled
altogether. In many cases an inferior
product of the cinchona bark, from which
quinine is made, is substituted for the real
article. 1t is little better than the cin-
chona bark and has not nearly third OF
the virtue of quinine. This is called Gin
chonidia and can be bought for from 2 to
4 cents an ounce, just a little more than
the bark itself It is so coed an imitation
that the customer Is unable to tell the

get the pure drug, and the only guarantee
they can have is the reputation Of the man
who sells it to othem.-Pittsburg Dispatch.
