"Coca and its Therapeutic Application, Third Edition" by Angelo Mariani is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. The work delves into the properties and medical uses of the Coca plant (Erythroxylon Coca), highlighting its effects on health and wellness, along with a detailed examination of its alkaloids, particularly cocaine. This treatise aims to summarize the historical usage, cultivation practices, and pharmacological research surrounding Coca, making it a valuable resource for medical professionals interested in its therapeutic applications. The opening of this text introduces readers to the significance of Coca in both historical and therapeutic contexts. It begins by referencing the preparation known as 'Vin Mariani'—a tonic that combines Coca with wine to address issues such as fatigue and brain disorders. Mariani recalls his extensive study and cultivation of the Coca plant, laying the groundwork for a more in-depth exploration of its botanical characteristics, historical reverence among indigenous cultures, and the growing body of medical research supporting its use. He invites medical professionals to engage with his findings, promising a structured overview that encompasses the Coca plant's cultivation, physiological properties, and therapeutic recommendations.
