Coffee and Its Effects.

The great virtue of coffee is that it
stimulates ard refreshes, these porper-
ties being due to caffeine. Italso con-
tains gum aud sugar, fat, acids, casein
and wood fiber. Like tea il powerfully y
increases the respiration, but. unlike it.,
does not affect its depth. BY its use
the rate of the pulse is increased and
the action of the skin diminished. 1t
lessons the amount of blood sent TO
the organs of the body, distends the
veins aud contracts the capillaries,
thus preventing waste of tissue. 1t
is mental stimulus of a high order
and one that is liable to great abuse.
Carried to excess; il produces abnor
mai wakefulness, indigestion, acidity,
heartburn, tremors, debility, irritable
ity of temper, trembling, irregular
pulse, a kind of intDxiea;ion ending
in delirlum and great injury to the
spinal functions. Unfortunately, there
are many tipplers who depend upon
it as drnnkard upon his dram. On
the other hand, coffee is u sovereign
efficacy in tiding over the nervous
system in emergencies. Coffee is also
10 its place an excellent medicine. In
TYPHOID fever its action is frequently
prompt and decisive. Il il indicated
10 the early stages before local COM
picatinns arise. Coffee dispels s.upor
and lethargy, is an antidote to many
kinds of poson, and Is valuable in
spasmodic asthma, whooping cough,
cholera infantum and Asiatic cholera.
IL is alse excellent ds a preventive
against infections and epidemic dis
eases. In districts rife with malaria aud
fever, the arinking of hot c flee be-
fore passing into the open air has en-
aDIed persons tiv,ng in such places to
tU escape e9nia9lnn.
