ITS SO ' Moyer Clothing Company Popular-Price Clothiers Ben Selling, Manager THIRD AND OAK STREETS EAT QUININE BY THE OUNCE Residents Along the Mexican Coast Consume Vast Quantities of Elmer. New Orleans Times-Democrat. "The quantity of quinine taken by for eigners on the southeast coast of Mexico Is somethlngr; simply incredible," said a resident of this city who is interested in coffee , culture in the sister republic. "There is a general belief among the Americans and English all through that region that the" drug Is necessary for the preservation of life, and they keep full of It from one year's end to another. The first time I visited the coast I stopped at Frontera, the first port east of Vera Cruz, and as soon as our ship tied up it "was boarded by a tall, sallow man, who turned out to be an American engineer in charge of a big sugar plant up the country. He made a bee line for the pur ser. 'Hello, Billy! he said, 'did you bring that quinine?' 'Sure,' replied the purser, and diving into his cabin he came out with an armful of tin boxes, about the size of tea canisters, and japanned green. Each of them held a pound of quinine. I never saw it put up that way before, and naturally.I was surprised. I soon scraped an acquaintance with the engineer and made bold to inquire what in the world he wanted 'with such a. supply. 'Are you get ting it on speculation?' I asked, with a vague idea that it might be intended for some Mexican army contractor. He laughed heartily. " 'Speculation nothing!' said he; 'this all goes to our little colony of Americans back In the interior, and it won't last very long, either.' "With that he drew a penknife from his pocket, opened a blade that had been ground off round, like a spatula, and thrust it into one of the cans. He brought out a flaky, white mass enough to heap a teaspoon put it on his tongue and swallowed it like so much sugar, 'Have you an yldea how many grains you are taking?" I asked In amaze ment. 'Only approximately, he replied, carelessly: 'a man quits weighing quinine after he has been down here a few months.' That was my first encounter with a bona fide quinine eater," the coffee planter went on, "but I met plenty of them afterward. "They generally keep the stuff in rub ber tobacco pouches, to protect it from perspiration, and when they feel like tak ing a dose they dig in with one of those spatulated knives that they all carry, and swallow as much as they see fit. As they go entirely by guess, it is hard to say how much will be taken in the course of a day, but I have weighed the amount that can be lifted on the ordinary knife blade, and found It to range between 25 and 50 grains. Tou see, quinine is as com pressible as cotton, and two wads of it that look about the same size will vary 100 per cent In weight. One would sup pose, an a matter of course, that such enormous quantities of the drug would produce an intolerable ringing in the head, but, strange to say, they do nothing of the kind. The average white man down there who keeps under the influence all the time experiences nothing except a slight feeling of exhilaration at least, so I was assured by dozens of habitues. "Whether the use of the stuff is of any real benefit is something I am skeptical about. I never took a grain of it myself, and I was the only man on our plantation who didn't have a touch of feveri" GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY Special Rate Bulletin. Buffalo and return, ?86.
