Is it Cliff Clavin time again already? Oh well.
As far as Africa and the tropics go... before 1940 or so, quinine was the only effective treatment against malaria and became a traditional mixer in Sundowners as I understand them (quinine was used to make tonic water and inparts the 'interesting' original taste). Of course quinine, when consumed in large quantities, supposedly makes one quite deaf as the years go by.
What?

Reason: fixed spelling of 'Clavin'. Trivial I know.
