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"
