Professor Koch argues quinine injections could curb East Africa and Italian malarial fevers and foresees a decisive victory over these diseases. He warns against indiscriminate quinine use as a prophylactic in temperate zones and cautions that overuse weakens the heart and blunts response to treatment. He links rising West Asian death rates to lax quinine use and contrasts this with arsenic favored by German physicians.
