_Intermittent Treatment._—There are those who consider a treatment in which days of quinine administration are followed by days without quinine as equally efficient and less trying on the patient. Some of the experiences of Stephens and his colleagues indicated that 45 grains on two consecutive days of each week and continued for 8 weeks gave better results than 30 grains daily over such a period. In their experiments a dosage above 45 grains in a day did not seem any more efficient than 45 grains, so that this may well be considered as a maximum dose. On the whole however there seems to be a greater tendency to relapse following an intermittent treatment and Acton, as a result of his comparison of intermittent and continuous methods, deprecates the intermittent one. Some have thought that salvarsan aided the specific action of quinine. Many physicians recommend arsenic in the form of Fowler’s solution or as sodium cacodylate. It is most useful in chronic cases. Some preparation of iron is, of course, indicated in malarial anaemias. It has been claimed that radium and X-ray treatment, when directed to the spleen, assist the action of quinine. Methylene blue, next to quinine, has been considered as the most valuable drug. It is given in 2-grain doses every four hours. It is also given intravenously. The form of methylene blue to use is that labelled “Medicinal.” It is often stated that the opium fiends of the tropics are immune to malaria and some physicians have claimed antiperiodic properties for the drug. Dover’s powder is lauded by some as of value in symptomatic treatment. Surveyor has recommended picric acid in the treatment of malaria in doses of 2 grains two or three times daily. Recently hectine, a remedy somewhat similar to the cacodylates, has been strongly recommended by the French. It is given intramuscularly in 2-grain doses. It is said to be valuable when there is a leucopenia as it has a tonic action. It has been recommended to combine this treatment with quinine. It is said to be a good substitute for quinine in blackwater fever. Rogers has recently noted the value of tartar emetic injections in eradicating the sexual parasites of carriers. After rather extended trial of this drug for the above purpose and as a method of treating ordinary infections the general opinion is against its value. _General and Symptomatic Treatment._—During the course of the fever the patient should remain in bed and given only broths. In the intermissions of the benign forms one may allow a more generous diet. It is important that the patient be not allowed to become constipated and as a laxative one grain of calomel in divided doses followed by effervescing phosphate of soda is very satisfactory.
