Large Mint Acreage

RICHLAND-Due to the large
acreage OF mint this year the mint
stills in the district have been op-
Grating Gay and night extracting
the mint oil. The yield in the val

Your HEALTH
BY DIR. NORRIS FISHBEIN

Some time before 1880 the
Countess of Chinchon, who had
been sent to Peru as wife of the
viceroy. was cured of malaria
fever at Lima by the administra-
ton Of cinchona bark. Appar-
emily it had long been known to
the Peruvian Indians that the
bark of cinchona could control
the symptoms of malaria.
The Jesuit priests brought the
drug to Europe in 1882. The
effects of this prescription were
so obvious and so definite that
a famous Italian physician of
the time said that cinchona did
for medicine what gun powder
did for war. Probably no other
medical discovery up to that
time had such a tremendous eff
feet on medical practice. 1t
wiped out almost completely all
notions about corrupted hui
mors' in the body and strange
ideas about the nature Of disease.
In 1920 the substance called
quinine was isolated from the
bark by some investigators. I'm
mediately it was recognized that
the Quinine itself was much
more effective than the crude
bark or its extracts.
Today over 30 per cent of the
quinine used in the world comes
from trees grown in the Dutch
East Indies. More than 500 tons
of quinine are used in medicine
every year. II, however, all the
malaria in the world were ade-
quately treated and controlled
with quinine, it would be found
that 900 tons is Just fraction
of what the world actually could
use.
Quinine itself is used not only
to control malaria but is used
as q substance which helps to
lower fevers and to relieve pain
in various forms OF rheumatic
conditions. IL is known that it
will irritate the tissues OF the
body and is used in injection SUBJ
stances to control vsricose veins
and hemorrhoids.
Every one of the drugs that Is
powerful for good may also do
harm, and this is especially true
of quinine. Many people are so
sensitive to quinine that they
have rashes on the skin. ring
ing in the ears. blisters. dis
turbances Of digestion, and SINH
lar symptoms when they take a
dose OF this drug.
Malaria, the disease for which
quinine is specific, ranks next
only 10 hookworm in having the
highest incidence OF any disease
that attacks man. II is said that
millions of people throughout the
world have this disease and that
5000. 900 die every year.
The disease was once wide
spread throughout the world. but
is now eliminated from many
civilian sections by the destruc-
ton of mosquitoes that carry
malaria from pools. swsmps and
other breeding places.
