Getting Iron and Curtain, then Gin and Tonic, all in the same 9-letter word is pretty cool.

Tonic water contains quinine, which is a common (although not recommended first-line anymore) treatment and preventative for malaria. Gin and tonic was invented by the British in colonial tropics to fight malaria (quinine was isolated from a bark; the gin was added to make it taste better!). Here's an informative article about the anti-malarial history of gin and tonic: http://www.slate.com/articles/health_and_science/foreigners/2013/08/gin_and_tonic_kept_the_british_empire_healthy_the_drink_s_quinine_powder.html

Who knew? - BTW: In the Netherlands, gin is known as Genever and it is definitely NOT cheap.

I knew that drinks with quinine like Tonic Water and Bitter Lemon were used to treat Malaria but I had no idea they especially invented Gin and Tonic for that. That Tonic is or was different from the one most of us may know though. The quinine levels are way low in the commercially available drinks.

Of course Bach wrote for lots of solo instruments: his greatest works for solo instrument were probably the Goldberg Variations, written for the harpsichord, the Well-Tempered Clavier (which could be played on an organ as well) and his Cello Suites.
