By the mid-nineteenth century, the bark of the cinchona tree was widely sought after. It contained quinine, an effective malarial treatment much needed in tropical climates. However, it was indigenous only to Peru. This book, first published in 1862, tells the remarkable story behind the cinchona's introduction to India.
