 The tonic, inhibiting, steadying action of qulnine accounts for it's beneficial effect in many cases of exophthalmic goitre (hyperthyroid. ism), chorea (St. Vitus' dance), and arrhythmia or irregular heart action. rnhibiting means restraining, hold ing back.

QUTNTNE IS A GOOD TNHIBrTOR
 In cases where prolonged mental or physical strain is to be under gone, wrote the famous physician, teacher, authority on therapeutics (treatment of disease), Prof. 1T. A. Hare, quinine in dose of 3 to { grains will often prevent exhaustion and support the system,
 For adults two grains of qulnine sulphate, in pillI tablet or capsule, three times daily for Q week or two before the ordeal is usually the cor- rect dosage, For children between three and ten years of age, one grain twice or three times daily is generally suitable. The doses suggested may be used either for preventing stage fright or examination jitters, or to prevent exhaustion and support the system, as Hare expresses 1t, where c prolonged mental or physical strain is to be undergone,
 On other occasions 1 have sug. gested qutnine sulphate in these same doses, or in some instances larger doses, to be taken over e period of several months, as c rem- edy for Thomsen's disease (myo- tonia), Q condition present at birth (congenitaD in some individuals, characterized by excessive rigidity of the muscles, so that the muscles respond to the will only after the lapse of an appreeiable second or two. This is not the mere unwieldly state and impaired elasticity of the muscles in an individual who is muscle bound" from wrong physi- cal training
 l have suggested the same use of quinine as Q remedy for the bed- wetting habit In children from three to eighteen years of age, and have received grateful reports of success obtained with it in obstinate and discouraging eases of this persistent infantilo habit, By the way. if your child has the habit. send stamped envelope bearing your address and ask for monograph on ed-wetting.
