centian as a Cure for Malaria.

The root of gentian, often used as
a tonic, is considered in many malar-
ial countries a remedy against inter-
mittent fever. Especially is this the
case in Corsica in that section of the
island near the town of Aleria, which
is infested with malaria. The inhabi-
tants recently protested violently
against the introduction of quinine on
the part of the medical authorities, de-
laring that they would not abandon
the remedy which had been used
among the islanders for centuries,
namely, the gentian root either pow
dered or simply masticated.
Tancret declares that he has ex-
tracted from this root hitherto I'M
known substance which belongs to
the chemical classification of glucoses.
This he calls genziomcrina, and ex.
periments in the laboratory prove that
1t possesses the same deleterious &C
ton upon the malaria bacillus as does
quinine. Here, then. We have another
example of how popular instinct often
anticipates with certain sureness the
discoveries Of science.-Scientif1t

about it. In fact, the word 'promis-
ing is quite an inadequate term to
apply to the gold producing possibili-
ties. l have fossicked about the
ranges for the last 40 years, and have
averaged considerably over S. per
day. l am certain there are many
places in the hills far richer in gold
than the fields of Victoria and western
Australia. All that is required is prop
er development 1t is a we'll known
fact that alluval miners at Echunga
and in other parts Of the Mount
Lofty ranges have for many years
kept themselves and their families
on the gold they have discovered by
merely scratching the surface. Three
men in the early Cos mining near
Echunga made $4,000 in very short
time out of their claims, while many
nuggets have been found, and as year
has succeeded year the army Of pros.
pectOrs has been considerably aug
mented, until now large numbers can
be found throughout the ranges. A
fair proportion of these men had pre-.
viously helped to swell the ranks of
the unemployed in the city, and in
despair determined to try their luck
at mining. The result has in almost
every case been satisfactory At Ec-
hunga, Blumberg, Blackfellow's creek
and other places pottering about the
surface has been abandoned and min
ing begun in real earnest, syndicates
and companies having been formed to
purchase the necessary machinery.
