The diminution in the effects of i)aludism is appreciable only when the sulj)hate of quinine is administered, not in daily, almost homeopathic and insufficient doses, but in relatively large doses, twice a week or when special circum- stances require. During the Madagascar expedition of 1895, quinine was distributed to the men in doses of from . 1 to . 2 of a gram . During the first four days of the week. In spite of this measure, the fever attacked our soldiers cruelly. It must not be conclude...d from this, however, that the quinine pre- ventive is useless; it can only be said that the doses were insufficient, or, rather, that the poisoning Avas too violent. Alcoholism is the more formidable because it acts upon the organs weakened by heat and imi)edes digestion, thus aggravating certain diseases, such as paludism and dysen- tery. The rum of the ration ought to be suppressed and ic- placed by tea, which would also make it nece^ssary to boil the water. The English have profited on several expeditions by the su]»pression of rum.
