Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Monthly Abstract of Medical Science, 1877, Vol. 4: A Digest of the Progress of Medicine and the Collateral Sciences These facts force upon us the conclusion that intermittent fevers, even when very severe, are easily cured by subcutaneous injections of hydrobromate of qui nine, and very often by very small doses of it. Its rapidity of action is remark able, and to this rapidity is added certainty. With regard to the local effects of the injection, Dr. Raymond says that in over 300 injections no accident has occurred; very slight local swelling has sometimes been observed, but this has always rapidly disappeared without inflammation.
