Coffee. the beverage of n large por-
ton of the civilized world, contains an
oil of very active properties. This aro-
matte shrub, which was first discovered
wild in the desert Businesses of Arabia
and Ethiopia. produces clusters of fra
grant white flowers growing from the
axis of the leaves. The berry is red
when ripe, and separating the kernel
from the husk was Il laborious and diff
ficult process when performed after the
primitive methods of the East. Coffee
acts upon the nerves, and is an antidote
for many poisons. The herdsmen OF
Arabia noticed the eXhilarating effect
of this plant upon their fiocks. and the
bowling Dervishes drank infusions OF
the berries TO keep them wakeful in
their wild night-ravings long before 1t
was in use as beverage. Coffee, un-
like spices, is modern luxury, having
been introduced into Europe only about
the middle of the seventeenth century
