Mr. Will said that the early use of vinchoan dated back to 1000 when a Jesuit in Peru was said to have been cured of his lever by using the bark of the cinchona tree. The story that Rod Indians had "used it in 1600 was rather doubtful

In 1837, the wife of the Viceroy of Paru was also reported to have b.en cured by using it. When the returned to Spain, she brought back with her the cinchona bark, and cured many persons with it.

In 1688, cinchona was first heard of in England and John Talbot was anid to have cured King Charles II. and King Louis XIV, of Trance by

using it When asked by the

French doctors to define the dis case from which. King Louis XIV. was suffering, Talbot said, "It is a disease, which I can cure and you cannot, (Laughter.) Talbot's way, of proparing the cinchona bark was to grind it into powder and mix it with port wine.
