Quinine is a medication to treat malaria and babesiosis.
Bromo Quinine Cold Tablets: The main active ingredient in the product was quinine hydrobromide. Use of bromide products resulted in bromism. Bromism is a dangerous medication condition due to over consumption of bromide containing products such as those depicted here. The product was heavily promoted as a laxative and as a cure for influenza, often referred to as "La Gripps". The bromide contents and volume within made this a very unsafe medicine.
Methylene blue, also known as methylthioninium chloride, is a medication and dye. As a medication it is mainly used to treat methemoglobinemia.
