Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the therapeutic uses of coffee and caffeine within a physiological framework. Largely considered a stimulant akin to alcohol, the author, a proponent of the emerging field of physiological therapeutics, argues that coffee exerts a unique restorative effect on the ner…vous system. Within the context of 19th-century medicine, the authorâs perspective is thoroughly supported by experimentation and clinical observation. The author contends that coffee stimulates the heart and increases blood pressure while paradoxically slowing the pulse, an effect attributed to the drug's vasoconstrictive properties. The book further examines the drug's effects on respiration, digestion, and muscular activity, and concludes that the primary action of caffeine is to restore normal physiological function in cases of both hyperemia and ischemia. Particularly noteworthy are the author's observations on caffeine's treatment of gastrointestinal ailments, a use of the drug that continues to the present day. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
