PHILIPPINES' BIG MEDICAL BID

For World's Quinine Trade

TOTAQUINA

FACTORY

INAUGURATED

The attention of the medical world is focussed on the Philip- pines to-day as a result of the inauguration of the totaquina factory and the announcement by the government of the exten- sion plans to supply this factory with greater quantities of cin- chona bark. The adaptability of Philippine soli and the possibi-" lity of growing chinchona trees on a great scale, encouraged the Filipinos to bid for the world's quininë trade, states Sivestre Afable in the "Manila, Balletin."

The prohibitive cost of quinine and the millions who die of malaria every year have made the inauguration of the tota quina factory in the Philippines by the bureau of science a great event. Malaria, that ancient tropical disease which kills millions of the poor and needy, has not been completely eradicated be- cause of the small supply of quinine which makes its cost prohi- bitive

Up to the present, the Duten hold a monopoly of the quinine trade producing 97 per cent of the total world quinine supply. The opening of the factory in the Philippines, therefore, places this country as the of the possible

competitors in the quinine world market, thus encouraging business for the Filipino people.

strong winds, a deadly enemy of the delicate cinchona plant, are not present.
