 Travelling constantly between Europe and Africa, he had to be prepared for any eventuality. Quinine was a must at the time to combat malaria, which was rampant in Africa.
 There was also a remedy against ‘colds’, because let’s not forget that moving from one climate to another is not a relaxing experience, and the body was put to a severe test.
