half a dozen times until 1887. Before that I may have had the same feeling, but I never took any quinine for it. I don't think I ever took quinine till 1887 when two or three doses of quinine put me right.
415. And with reference to the individuals of your household, had they any attack in 1887 ?

416.-In what month?
A.—I would not be quite sure, probably September or October.
417.-Had she more than one attack?

A.-More severe.
422. How long did that last?

A.-Four years.
426.--Have your Chinese servants suffered much from fever there?

years.
