footnotes =Bernardino Ramazzini (
1633-11-03 -1714-11-05 ) was an Italian physician.Born in Carpi, Ramazzini was an early proponent of the use of
cinchona bark (from whichquinine is derived) in the treatment ofMalaria . His most important contribution to medicine was his work on occupational diseases called "De Morbis Artificum Diatriba" ("Diseases of Workers") which outlined the health hazards of chemicals, dust, metals, and other agents encountered by workers in 52 occupations. This was one of the founding and seminal works ofoccupational medicine and played a substantial role in its development. He served as professor of medicine at theUniversity of Padua from 1700 until his death.In regards to
malaria , Ramazzini was one of the first to support the use of the quinine-rich barkcinchona . Many falsely claimed that quinine was toxic and ineffective, but Ramazzini recognized its importance. He is quoted, "It [quinine] did for medicine what gun powder did for war."
