Epoch-making Discoveries
by Pharmacists
The Story !
of
Quinine
THERE is a legend that the Per
uvian Indians knew of the vir
tues of Cinchona bark as early as
15C0. They drank the water in
which the bark of Cinchona trees
had by chance been steeped, and
found it a remedy for “agues and
fevers.”
It wasn’t until 1820, however,
that it was discovered what there
was in the bark that gave it its
remedial properties. Two French
pharmacists, Pelletier and Caven
tou, isolated quinine from the bark
— an epoch-making discovery of
far-reaching benefit to mankind.
Pharmacists have made many
such valuable contributions to
medical science, while giving time,
skill, and sympathetic cooperation
to the communities they serve.

The first manufacturers of quin
ine in the United States were the
founders of Powers &. Weightman.
Their skill and experience are now
the heritage of Merck &. Co. Inc.,
whose products have had the ap
proval of physicians and pharma
cists for many years.

ORE SYSTEM
The function of the buoyage
system of the United States and
its relation to safe navgation is
described in a new publication
just issued by the Lighthouse Serv
ice of the Department of Com
merce.
The purpose of the pamphlet
is to describe the different types;
of buoys in use along our coasts,
to indicate briefly their historical
development, and to show in de
tail their relation to navigationj
and to buoyage systems of other
countries. , j
"Buoyage System of the United
States,” as the pamphlet is called,
presents the public with a close
up view of these floating aids
to navigation. It tells ho.w the
lighted buoys function, how both
bells and whistles are made to
operate by the motion of the sea,
describes the various types of
buoys and tells the meanings of
their colors and shapes.
The little known facts that
some of the buoys weigh as much
as 34,000 pounds and that they
may cost as much as $5,000 are
among the details that make the
booklet of general interest.
