Abstract

In the 17th century, the so-called Peruvian powder, i.e., the powdered bark of a tree called the fever tree by the local Indians arrived in Europe from South America. It cured a large number of people of malaria. In the nineteenth century, the medicinal alkaloid quinine was isolated from the bark and its synthetic production began. At the same time, attempts were made to obtain seedlings of the cinchona tree and cultivate it in other regions of the world. The Netherlands turned out to be the most effective, establishing cinchona plantations in their colony in Indonesia. In the 19th century, quinine was added to sparkling water, and this was combined with gin. The resulting drink was used as an antimalarial by the British military in South Asia.
