I have updated a full page on one of the medical cases of Dr. John King. This entailed transcribing the note and looking up the different plants he listed to increase knowledge for myself and the reader. Several of the plants are still used today and one of the ingredients interestingly was used as a drink, similarly to tonic water of the past, it included cinchona. Cinchona bark has been credited with the early cure of malaria as quinine is extracted from true cinchona bark. I added an interesting website where someone had revived the drink. The remainder of this page is about some of the ingredients used and discussed in King’s American Dispensatory.
I played around with different colors and themes for the website for technical updates. I ended up ditching the Thank you, Roy theme from Omeka. Even though I did find an excellent green color scheme, I tried the Foundation theme instead due to expanded options for mobile use. I need to learn this new theme as I go and continue to fill the other pages out.
