ployed as an antithermic.

QUINIDINE.
This alkaloid is extracted from the bark of several
species of Cinchona, especially Cinchona pitaycuzsis. A
salt that is now used in medicine is the tannate, repre-

Therapeutic Applications. The salt, almost desti-

rhoea, albuminuria, and nephritis.
Administration.-The dose of the tanlnate of qzinidine
is from 3 to 12 grains (o.I8 to 0.72 gramme) twice or
four times a day.
QUININE.
The new salts of this alkaloid are almost legion in

results: the oleate, occurring as a yellowish-gray mass,
soluble in alcohol, and applied locally in the form of
suppositories and of ointments in the treatment of cuta-

powder, soluble in alcohol, but difficultly soluble in
water; it possesses antiseptic and antipyretic properties,
and is said to be of service in typhus and typhoid fevers,
articular rheumatism, and other febrile disorders. This
salt is given in doses of from I to 8 grains (0.06 to 0.48
gramme).
