| Meaning: | The dried bark of any of several trees of the genus Cinchona containing alkaloids — as quinine, cinchonine, quinidine, and cinchonidine — and being used especially formerly as a specific in malaria, an antipyretic in other fevers, and a tonic and stomachic — called also cinchona bark, Jesuits' bark, Peruvian bark or Countess' powder (after the Countess of Cinchon). The 'tonic' in gin & tonic is quinine and was popular in the East Indies because it reduced fever in general. It still does, and with the gin you don't mind the fever. |
