1890 Coca and its Therapeutic Application by Angelo Mariani

PASTILLES MARIANI(COCA AND COCAINE).

TEe Pastilles Mariam are used in the same cases as the from ■which they differ only by the addition of two milligrammes of Cocaine hydrochlorate to each pastille. Their action is much more intense and more rapid than that of the Coca paste. The paroxysms of cough which are so frequent and so annoying to those who smoke tobacco to excess, are over come as if by enchantment by the use of a few pastilles. Dose—Four to eight daily. This amount, however, may be exceeded, at the discretion of the physicians.

THE MARIANI, OR CONCENTRATED EXTRACT OF COCA (TEA MARIANI).

As its name indicates, Mariani's concentrated extract of Coca, or ThdMariani, contains within a small bulk all the active principles of the Coca leaf. This extract, prepared in special apparatuses which prevent all alteration and pre serve all its properties and all its aroma, answers entirely in the various modes of using Coca and constitutes a most scrupulously exact preparation in dose, the most conven ient and the most active that could be desired. ThdMartant is capable of indefinitepreservation and easy of transportation; it renders great service to persons who make mountain ascensions, fatiguing marches, or long journeys through unhealthy countries, and in fact in what ever may be called fatiguing work or pleasure. Thd Martani may be taken in the dose of from three to six teaspoonfuls in the course of the day, clear, or mixed with brandy, wine, water or milk, etc., hot or cold, in the latter cases sweetened to taste, if desired
