About This Book

This manual surveys the coca plant's botany and cultivation, traces its historical and ethnobotanical uses, summarizes physiological research including the isolation and effects of its active alkaloid, and compiles clinical observations on various preparations and therapeutic applications. It describes leaf morphology, growth conditions, and methods of preparation, assesses modes of action and anesthetic and tonic properties, and offers practical guidance and illustrative plates for physicians on dosing and indications. Organized into sections on botanical description, history, physiology, therapeutics, and usage recommendations, the work emphasizes experimental results and clinical reports to support medicinal employment of coca-derived products.

[22] It has been repeatedly proven that the many worthless, so-called Coca preparations are nothing more than variable solutions of Cocaine in inferior grades of wines or other liquids, shamefully prepared by unscrupulous or ignorant persons, whereby, in addition to the harmful effects they produce, also bring into discredit a really useful drug.
