Years ago, because of the lack of good medical care, diseases were the most terrible
threat to the early people. Of course, they had no pills, tablets or capsules as we do
today. They used to eat herbs or three bark to cure many diseases. They also knew that
food had great effect on their health. Actually the medicines that we take today are
mostly extracted from herbs, tree bark, plants and food. For example, in the 17th
century, the Peruvian Indians ate cinchona bark when they had a fever. They learned

this from experience only. Until 1816, some pharmacists extracted quinine from the
cinchona bark. It is used in the treatment of malaria, a disease transmitted by the
anopheles mosquito and common in the tropical countries. Quinine is also used to help
cure other diseases. However, if a child use quinine for a long time, he or she will have

The search for alternative sources of energy has led in various directions. Many
communities are burning garbage and other biological waste products to produce
electricity. Converting waste products to gases or oil is also an efficient way to
dispose of waste.
Experimental work is being done to derive synthetic fuels from coal, oil shale and
coal tars. But to date, that process has proved expensive. Other experiments are
underway to harness power with giant windmills. Geothermal power, heat from
the earth, is also being tested.
Some experts expect utility companies to revive hydroelectric power derived
from streams and rivers. Fifty years ago, hydroelectric power provided one third
of the electricity used in the United States, but today it supplies only four percent.
The oceans are another potential source of energy. Scientists are studying ways
to convert the energy of ocean currents, tides and waves to electricity.

Experiments are also underway to make use3 of temperature differences in
ocean water to produce energy.
