He himself used it for two Years, and though formerly unable to work after dinner without headache and indigestion, those ‘symptoms did not occur when he used the Coca.

It is a useful tonic in nervous prostration, hysteris and mélancholy. ‘He considers it better than oplum in mental affections, and belives that in sustaining nervous force it is ‘superior to all known agents.

To ® sufferer from nervous dyspepeia, a Indy seventy- three years of age, who had beoome reduced toa dict of lightly cooked meal and bread, and who for three Years had not had a movement of the bowels without the aid of enemas, I prescribed it.

A lady who had for years suffered from nervous asthme, and who had ‘been compelled to go up stairs slowly and with frequent Tests, found great relief from the very first dose. A broker who had been subjected to excessive nervous strain, and was in consequence unable to sloop or eat well, was becoming very weak and emaciated. He had been taking quinine and iron without any benefit, and greatly feared he would be obliged to relinquish busi- ness for a period of entirerest. All his symptoms were immediately cured by Coca, and he went on with hig affairs as usual. A indy, aged fifty-five, hasdiabetes. Since taking Coca with her meals she his improved wonderfully, being almost entirely relieved of her for- mer ‘sinking epell,” thirst and constpation. A Indy suffered for thirteen years with severe nervous head- aches. They at first recurred every two weeks, and fi- nally every two days. She describes them as so violent that sho would rather die than live. Three weeks after begin- ning the Coca she reports: “lave had but one slight ‘attack, apd I am so much stronger and better that I feel sure I shall be cured." Many: instances of nervous headache, nourasthenia and neuralgia have been-re- Ported to meas cured by the Coca when all the usual narcotics, tonics and anodynes have failed to afford re- lief.
