"Torti's work finally established the specific nature of cinchona bark. His demonstration of its effectiveness in periodic over continuous fevers finally overthrew the doctrine of the common origin of all fevers. He is also credited with the introduction of the term 'malaria' "--Garrison-Morton 5231 (1712 original edition).
