In the year 1693, the Countess of Oinehon (wife of tho then Viceroy of Pern) •was journeying across these remote mountain ranges, and fell seriously ill. While seeking shade and rest beneath a tree., the Countess (after whom the Cinchona tree was named) drank frequently from a pool, into which largo pieces of the tree's tbark had i~i eii{. t was aS^ea.bly surprised to find that the water possessed very powerful medicinal properties, and that it was rapidly curing her of her sickness. She continued to take this strangely-found natural tonic, and was soon cured. Before leaving this spot, the Countess's party mafic investigations, and arrived at the conclusion that the bark of the tree, which had been soaking in the pool, had given the water these peculiar curative powers. Large quantities of the bark were thereupon gathered and conveyed to Europe iby tho party, and so the medicinal fraternity of the civilised countries came to be acquainted -with the Cinchona Bark, now so valuable throughout the world to doctors and chemists.
