In the folder on "Quinine in
Modern Medicine" copy of which
am glad to send on request, if you
provide stamped envelope bearing
your address, instructions for the
use of quniine both as preventa-
tive and as remedy for cri, grip,
flu, malaria and oh, well, if you
must have your way about it, the
common cold" are given. In addi-
ton the folder contains instruc-
tons for the use of quinine to pre-
vent stage fright and examination
filters.
Respecting stage fright and ex-
animation filters, have received a
great many letters of appreciation
from readers who have used quin-
inc with happy results. just be-
tween ourselves confess suffer
from stage fright as much as the
next fellow, and I have found the
quinine treatment great comfort.
A medical colleague who fills the
position of health commissioner in
his community writes to give me
scolding for my attitude toward
Pasteur treatment for alleged rabies
II do not abate my attitude one jot
or tittle-I would not take Pasteur
treatment myself in any circum-
stance, but advise any one bitten
or wounded by any animal to seek
medical treatment Immediately and
do as his or her own doctor deems
best about that or any other treat
ment)-after telling me off about
that the doctor thanks me for a
suggestion he got from my column.
Acting on the suggestion he began
taking quinine, two grains, two or
three times a day, for paroxysmal
tachycardia, from which he had
suffered for years, and derived i'm
mediate and almost complete relief.
AS long as he kept taking the quin-
inc with fair regularity he had no
attack, but few weeks after he
stopped taking quinine he would
have another attack. So now he
had found that by taking the quin-
inc more or less regularly enough
to get an average of two grains a
day he could avoid the distressing
attacks altogether.
Paroxymal is an imposing term
meaning the trouble comes by
spells, and tachycardia is similar
monstrosity meaning rapid heart
spells of runaway or racing heart
action lasting perhaps few hours.
Still another good use for quin-
inc is in 2 per cent solution OF quin-.
inc bisulfate in distilled water - or
say 9 grains in the ounce-as eye
drops, for ordinary acute catarrhal
conjunctivitis inflammation of lin
ing of lids and covering Of eyeballs)
or for the contagious or epidemic
eye inflammation commonly called
pink eye" One or two drops OF
the agreeably warm solution may
be carefully put in each eye three
times a day. In some cases, espec-
tally where the edges Of the eyelids
are inflamed and tend to stick, it
is more effective to apply 2 per cent.
ointment of quinine bisulfate-say
about 10 grains of quinine bisulfate
in one ounce of simple ointment
bsae. This may be gently smeared
upon the edges of the eyelids night
and morning.
