acted with surprising power. Loriiiser* men 
tioned that in 11 cases of ague, attended to in 
vain with quinine, 9 recovered through the ad- 
ministration of eucalyptus leaves. Keller f 
reports that of 432 cases under his observation 
and treated with Lorinser’s tincture, 310 became 
cured, and of these 202, after the first dose, with- 
out relapse, and 108 after repeated paroxysms. 
Of 118 patients, who derived no benefit from 
quinine, 91 recovered after the use of eucalyptus 
tincture. Many other cases of similar results are 
mentioned in pathological literature, although not 
so numerously illustrated. 
Professor Hosenstein, under whose and Pro- 
fessor Huizinga’s surveillance the splendid ob- 
servations of Dr. Mees were carried on, mentioned 
to Professor Schulz a case, occurring in the clinic 
of Leyden, of a quotidian fever, which had re- 
sisted to quinine as well as to arsenic. Though 
both these remedies had produced a lowering of the 
temperature, they did not prevent the return of 
the paroxysms, whereas the administration of the 
alcoholic tincture of eucalyptus leaves led to an 
enduring recovery, and all abnormal increase of 
temperature ceased at once. Eosenstein gives 
the tincture made in proportion of 1 part leaves 
to 8 parts alcohol, and of this the daily doses 
amount to about one and a half ozs. But in
