Tap water is good enough for shooting mammoths. Gosh, I'd hate to think of the damage one of those could do in the garden, but at least you'll have something to put on the roses -- Rhiannon http://www.livejournal.com/users/rhiannon_s/ "The trick is to commit crimes so confusing that police feel too stupid to even write a crime report about them."

David Hill wrote: Did you know? Quinine was called the Jesuit bark by the protestants in Cromwell's day and thus was not allowed in England. With the result that when Oliver Cromwell caught malaria there was no effective treatment and he died of it. It's certainly possible, but it wasn't exactly a routine treatment then, being first referred to in Europe in 1643. If one of the Web pages contained a contemporary reference, I would be rather more convinced by them. And quinine is, indeed, seriously toxic. In prophylactic dosage, it leads to nerve damage (usually starting with tinnitus and then deafness) within a few years - and the same thing applies to more than a few treatments, because the doses are higher for that. No, that is not why I am deaf, though I can't rule out that it had some effect. I wasn't given prophylactic quinine for long, as the newer and safer drugs started to come out in the late 1940s. Paludrine, of course, is ineffective against many forms of malaria, and was when it was introduced. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |

The amount taken for anything EXCEPT malaria is unlikely to cause major trouble, but the facts are as I state. It is a much stronger febrifuge than willow bark (a.k.a. aspirin), and has many other uses. Regards, Nick Maclaren. |
