What was the original use of the drug for malaria?

The original use of the drug for malaria was to help people get better from a sickness that makes them feel very tired and shivery.

Malaria is like a bug attack inside your body. Tiny bugs called mosquitoes bite you, and they pass along a tiny germ that causes the sickness. Once you have malaria, it feels like having a really bad cold, you might shake, feel hot, or even throw up.

The drug was made to fight those tiny germs inside your body. It helps your body kick out the germs so you can feel better and go back to playing or learning.

Imagine you're in a race with the germs, the drug is like a super-power that helps you win! Instead of feeling weak, you start to feel strong again.

That's how it worked, simple, powerful, and just what people needed when they had malaria.
