Bottle of 100 anti-malarial pills, London, England, 1891-194 |

| Description |
These anti-malarial pills were used by travellers or people living in areas where malaria was common. The pills contain quinine, a bitter tasting part of the bark of a cinchona tree, originally from South America but also cultivated in South Asia. From the early 1800s, quinine was used as a remedy against malaria. It was added to tonic water so the remedy was easier to swallow and today is still present in tonic water. It is still used to a limited degree as a medicine. maker: Parke, Davis & Company Limited Place made: London, Greater London, England, United Kingdom Wellcome Images |
