    Quinine
    Andean people knew for thousands of years that the bark of the quina tree cured malaria. Catholic missionaries learned this in the 1600s, and quinine soon became a valuable export to Europe. It has saved countless lives.

    අද ඩොනල්ඩ් ටෘම්ප් පවා අමුතු ආකාරයේ අර්බුදයකට මැදිවෙලා ඉන්නෙ. ඔවුන් කියන්නේ trial evidence මදි බව. එය සත්‍යක්. නමුත් හදිසියකදී trial evidence සෙවීම විහිළුවක්. එය ඔවුන්ගේ ක්‍රමයේ අඩුපාඩුවක්. සත්‍ය වශයෙන්ම හේතුව ඖෂධ කර්මාන්තකරුවන් මෙවැනි මිළ අඩු ඖෂධ ප්‍රචලිත වීමට දැඩි අකමැත්තක් දක්වනු ලබනවා.
