First Use of Quinine in China Emerges in Historic Tale
The San Francisco Examiner notes that quinine, derived from Peruvian bark, reached China via Jesuit missionaries over two centuries ago. In 1693 the emperor Kankhi suffered a fever, secretly tried the remedy, found it curative, and later proclaimed that all who had a fever remedy should come to the palace. Jesuits and others brought quinine, and its success prompted official gratitude to the European powers. Teachers in Colored Schools in Chattanooga Open Ninth Annual Meeting with delegates from across the country. Educational Sunday planned for next week.
