Lazybones Magnets^Quinquina Magnet

There Is Often An Interesting Story Behind Every Picture.

And In This Case Behind Each Magnet…

Quinine, As A Component Of The Bark Of The Cinchona (Quina-Quina) Tree, Was Used To Treat Malaria From As Early As The 1600S, When It Was Referred To As The “Jesuits’ Bark,” “Cardinal’S Bark,” Or “Sacred Bark.” These Names Stem From Its Use In 1630 By Jesuit Missionaries In South America

English Name Is Cinchona Calisaya And Is A Species Of Shrub Or Tree In The Family Rubiaceae. It Is Native To The Forests Of The Eastern Slopes Of The Andes, Where They Grow From 200–3,300 Metres In Elevation In Peru And Bolivia
