When Stanley was marching through Africa in search of the great Doctor Livingstone, he endured in credible .hardships, he was compelled to cross swamps of mud and slime, in which he and his men were struggling in water for days. These morasses abounded in crocodiles, monstrous snakes, and other dangerous animals. But the most annoying and pernicious of them all were the malaria-bearing anopheles mosquitoes. These pests sometimes stung them almost to the point of madness. Stanley states in his Journal that he was frequently wild with intermit tent fever. He said that no white man could cross Africa without his medicine chest. We know that the medicine from which they obtained re lief from the intermittent or malarial fever was quinine. Stanley found Dr. Livingstone at I Jjeji. His supplies were exhausted ana ae was weaa, m, ana depressed from constant attacks of fever. He had nothing with which to combat it, but Stanley had come well supplied with medicine and food for hi relief. The most necessary! wf Jail was Qui nine. That, togetherjwith good food and companionship, improved Doctor Livingstone to such an extent that in a few weeks he and Stanley 'started out together on an exploring expedi tion. Stanley recorded in his Journal that Doctor Livingstone told him that ma laria was the curse of Africa.

Not only is this true in foreign lancte and in outlying possessions, but parts of our Southern States are still cursed by malaria. Over in Java the trees are still growing-from which we now obtain an adequate supply of quinine. If you live in a rural area and are not able to have what you need delivered im mediately to your door in an emer gency, then keep an adequate supply of quinine on hand. If you or any of the family are stricken with malaria, remember, the-dose and give at once 5 grains of quinine every four hours until grains are taken. Continue for 4 or 5 days, or until the symptoms disappear. VHOJKOVS? 1. Who is in command of the Ameri can ground .forces in Korea T 2.
