THE USE OF
QUININE."
To the Editor, "Indian Medical Gazette." valuable paper read Sir,?Surgeon-Major Ranking in his " On the Use of Quinine before the Calcutta Medical Society " has not mentioned the in the Treatment of Malarial Fevers use of small doses of ol. hydrocyanic dil., with the quinine administered to prevent in many cases the vomiting that some people experience after taking quinine. I would also suggest that the best time to give quinine is two hours before the attack takes place and before the temperature begins to rise. It will in most cases curb the attack slowly, and the temperature will not rise; and in most cases two or three doses, day by day, will cure the disease. Amount of quinine to be given is also of vast importance ; twenty or thirty grain doses are called large doses. They are of very little use in cases where the patient has been in the habit of physicing himself for years past with quinine. Forty, fifty, and in some cases more must be given. T. d'O. PARTRIDGE.

P.S.?Small doses of calomel are most useful; also the old hospital white mixture.
