Coca and its Therapeutic Application, Third Edition
BRAIN REST.
By J. LEONARD CORNING, M.D., New York.
Published by G. P. PUTNAM'S SONS.
The preparation of Coca known as 'Vin Mariani' is the one to which I resort in meeting the exigencies incident to excessive and habitual worry and functional brain trouble.
Of 'Vin Mariani' I need hardly speak, as the medical profession is already well aware of its virtues. Of all tonic preparations ever introduced to the notice of the profession, this is undoubtedly the most potent for good in the treatment of exhaustive and irritative conditions of the central nervous system.
Mr. Angelo Mariani has spent many years in the careful study of the Coca plant, and as a result his preparations are unrivaled. The medical profession certainly owes a debt of gratitude to this gentleman for his valuable labors in this direction.
