Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Therapeutic Gazette, 1904, Vol. 28: A Monthly Journal of General, Special, and Physiological Therapeutics In the remittent (estivo-autumnal) forms of malarial fever there is usually constipation, and unless the symptoms are grave I begin the treatment with small doses of calomel, y, to 1 grain to every hour until bowels have acted thoroughly. In some cases I follow this with a saline. I then begin the quinine in from 3 to 5 grains to every three or four hours, continuing it without regard to the height of the fever until the temperature is normal, when the intervals between doses are increased to six hours, after which the quinine is continued in tonic or prophylactic doses until there is no probability of a recurrence of the infec tion. In the comatose, congestive, or other malignant types of malaria, it is some times advisable to administer the quinine hypodermically. For this purpose I em ploy a sterilized solution of the bisulphate or the hydrochlorate, though it is rare in my practice that I see the malignant types of malaria.
