QUlNiNE USERS.

Which Helps Thorn Little.

| Habitual users of quinine are slaves

pour spoonful into the palm Of the
hand and lick it down without a
grimace / have seen them chew Gin
chon bark az one crews gum. Others,
not habituated. must take two grains
or ten in a gelatine capsule. Before
capsules were invented 1t was taken In
molasses-and the chances are that the
molasses effected the cure. Too much
of 1t Is nearly as bad as too little
c0lomel. t..
Great fortunes have been made out
Of it. however, and Its cultivation In
Ceylon and Java Is said to be success
full. There are several pretty ronauces
connected with the discovery Of "kina.''
