Let
us
try
it
without
losing
a
moment
,
"
replied
Cyrus
Harding
.
The
bark
of
the
willow
has
,
indeed
,
been
justly
considered
as
a
succedaneum
for
Peruvian
bark
,
as
has
also
that
of
the
horse-chestnut
tree
,
the
leaf
of
the
holly
,
the
snake-root
,
etc.
.
It
was
evidently
necessary
to
make
trial
of
this
substance
,
although
not
so
valuable
as
Peruvian
bark
,
and
to
employ
it
in
its
natural
state
,
since
they
had
no
means
for
extracting
its
essence
.
Cyrus
Harding
went
himself
to
cut
from
the
trunk
of
a
species
of
black
willow
,
a
few
pieces
of
bark
;
he
brought
them
back
to
Granite
House
,
and
reduced
them
to
a
powder
,
which
was
administered
that
same
evening
to
Herbert
.
The
night
passed
without
any
important
change
.
Herbert
was
somewhat
delirious
,
but
the
fever
did
not
reappear
in
the
night
,
and
did
not
return
either
during
the
following
day
.
Pencroft
again
began
to
hope
.
Gideon
Spilett
said
nothing
.
It
might
be
that
the
fever
was
not
quotidian
,
but
tertian
,
and
that
it
would
return
next
day
.
Therefore
,
he
awaited
the
next
day
with
the
greatest
anxiety
.
It
might
have
been
remarked
besides
that
during
this
period
Herbert
remained
utterly
prostrate
,
his
head
weak
and
giddy
.
Another
symptom
alarmed
the
reporter
to
the
highest
degree
.
Herbert
's
liver
became
congested
,
and
soon
a
more
intense
delirium
showed
that
his
brain
was
also
affected
.
Gideon
Spilett
was
overwhelmed
by
this
new
complication
.
He
took
the
engineer
aside
.
"
It
is
a
malignant
fever
,
"
said
he
.
"
A
malignant
fever
!
"
cried
Harding
.
"
You
are
mistaken
,
Spilett
.
A
malignant
fever
does
not
declare
itself
spontaneously
;
its
germ
must
previously
have
existed
.
"
