"Markham, a Victorian geographer and explorer, conceived the notion of a cheap supply of quinine for the treatment of malaria for use in India. He organized several teams to go to Peru to collect the most promising varieties of cinchona, one of which he lead himself. After suffering great hardship in the jungle he managed to obtain some 500 seedlings, but they all died en route to India. Another of his teams was lead by Richard Spruce who did obtain seedlings and seeds, although they later proved to be of a variety that did not produce the largest amount of quinine. The work is an interesting adventure and description of events and is a valuable part of the story of the development of a cure for malaria, which is still of major concern. The author discusses the merits and locations of many cinchona varieties and related plants"--description from abebooks website.

Next morning he had a violent headache, but, as the mail left that day, he set to work and got lus plants properly packed and shipped. He then hurried back to Iiarranquilla to catch the return steamer up the Ch. m. Services of Mr. Weir. 2 79 Magdalena, all the while suffering from headache, and unfortunately he again got drenched in a thunder-storm. Next morning he was in a high fever on board the steamer, the violent headache being followed by numbness and paralysis, so that he could move nothing but his head. He was suffering from severe inflammation of the spinal cord. He was put on shore at Honda, and was lying helpless in a native hut for a fortnight. A compassionate American, settled at Honda, then took the sufferer into his house, where he remained three months, unable to move hand or foot. At length he was put on board a steamer, and shipped to England, where he arrived in April 1865. His recovery has since been very partial, and he is crippled and disabled for life. The Fellows of the Horticultural Society subscribed about 600 for his benefit, the interest of which produces 27 a year. On this, and his wife's earnings, Weir has since subsisted, "making the best of a bad job," as he says. It is very grievous to see an able and promising collector, full of zeal and energy, thus struck down in the prime of life. While health lasted he worked conscientiously and bravely, and not the least important part of his services were those he performed in the forests of Caravaya, for the Government and people of India. I made an urgent appeal for some small grant in...
