The Fever Bark Tree: The Pageant of Quinine is a book written by Marie Louise Duran-Reynals that explores the history and significance of quinine, a natural substance derived from the bark of the cinchona tree that was used to treat malaria. The book traces the origins of quinine from its discovery by the indigenous peoples of South America to its widespread use by European colonizers as a cure for malaria. Duran-Reynals also delves into the cultural and economic impact of quinine, as well as the scientific advancements that were made in order to better understand the substance and its effects on the human body. The Fever Bark Tree is a comprehensive and engaging exploration of the history and significance of quinine, and its impact on the world of medicine and beyond.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
