My Grandmother was diagnosed with malaria as a child, in the Tidewater. She was given quinine for it.
She was born in 1890 and lived to be 94, and continued to use quinine into old age, whenever she had symptoms that made her think she had contracted malaria again.
I think she was still able to buy quinine at the pharmacy into the 1970s at least...

If you get a leg cramp that won't stop, quinine really knocks it out.

I remember radio ads for an OTC med called Bromo-Quinine.
