The prophylaxis consists in destroying the mosquitoes whose bites communicate the disease. Quinine (15 to 30 grains or more) given two hours before the expected chili, is the remedy. This should be given on an empty stomach, and preceded by a cholagogue cathartic. Other remedies of importance are arsenic, methylene blue and the other alkaloids of cinchona bark.2
