QUININE KILLS AND CURES.
Results of Professor Koch's Study Of
Malarial Conditions.

Berlin Letter in Chicago Record.
Prof. Koch's recent studies of ma
lalia in tropical countries and in Italy
have led to his conviction that the ma
Iarial fevers Of Italy are identical in
cause and general character with those
of East Africa, and it is believed that
science is on the eve Of decisive VIC
tory over this whole group of maladies
10y means Of liquid injections of quiz
nine into the pulse vein.
Professor Koch pronouncCs the indis-
Criminate use Of quinine as a prophylac-
tic in malarial countries to be attended
with great danger, and i'm many cases
the indirect cause of the Virulent
"black wator" fever. He gives two
reasons for COnderninE the very gen.
rrul practice among persons going from
temperate To tropical latitudcs of sat-
uratinE their systems with quininc, TAX
en- in regular and often excessive doses.
In the first place. this treatment seri-
uusly wCakens the action Of the heart,
and, secondly, the system, having be-
come Injured 10 the drug, fails TO re-
spOnd to quiniuc treatment i'm case of
actual sickness \ person dehilitated by
the injudCiOus use Of quinine may take
malarial fever and die like any one else.
Professor Koch goes even further and
asserts his belief that the increased
death rate in certain parts Of West
Africa is due largely to the increased
and indiscImnate use of Quininc,
which in late years is much cheaper
and easier to procure in those parts.
II is well known that the German
school of doctors has long favored the
use Of arsenic instead Of quinine as a
remedy for certain fevers. in sharp dis
agreement with the opinions of physi-
clans in some other countries, notably
the United states. The statement now
made by Professor Koch that on the
western coast of Africa, where all
loms II malarial fever are especially
virulenr cases Of the Intermittent type
which have resisted even heroic doses
of quininc have yielded 60 the admln,s-
uation Of arsenic has hean the source
Of much qualification 90 his profession.
al brethren in Germany.
Professor Koch also notes The curious
fact that i'm Africa and India he found
the women WithstoOd exposure TO the
malaHal climate much better than
men. During season Of appalling
mortality on the gold coast, when men
of all degrees of health and experience
in tropical latitudcs were dying every
day there was hardly q death among
the women.
