Γενικά
Coca. Linese (υποτάξη Erytliroxylese).
Στενότερα συγγενής με τις Malpighiacese και Sapindacere, κατόπιν με τις Aceripacese και τις Rhizoboleae.
Θάμνος έξι ή οκτώ πόδια ψηλός, με μικρά λευκά άνθη και φωτεινά πράσινα φύλλα. Τα φύλλα έχουν μήκος δύο και μισής ίντσας και πλάτος το μισό· το χαρακτηριστικό σημάδι του φύλλου είναι μια καμπύλη γραμμή σε κάθε πλευρά της μέσης νεύρωσης. Η Coca χρησιμοποιήθηκε για πρώτη φορά στις Ηνωμένες Πολιτείες ως αντίδοτο του καπνού. Είναι γνωστό ότι βρισκόταν σε χρήση από τους Περουβιανούς από την εποχή της Κατάκτησης.
Στους χρόνους των Ίνκας η Coca θεωρούνταν ιερή. Καλλιεργείται εκτενώς στη Βολιβία για τα φύλλα της, τα οποία χρησιμοποιούνται πολύ σε εκείνη τη χώρα για μάσηση. Το 1856, η πώληση των φύλλων απέφερε στη Δημοκρατία εισόδημα δεκατριών εκατομμυρίων φράγκων. Βρίσκεται τώρα σε γενική χρήση μεταξύ των Ινδιάνων ως ναρκωτικό ρόφημα.
Το φυτό, που πολλαπλασιάζεται από σπόρο σε φυτώρια, αρχίζει να αποδίδει σε δεκαοκτώ μήνες και παραμένει παραγωγικό για μισό αιώνα.
Το 1856 αποδείχθηκε με proving (δοκιμασία φαρμάκου) από τον Clotar Müller, Horn. Viert., v. 7, p. 443. Proving από τον Stokes στο Mon. Horn.
Bev., v. 3, p. 274, το 1859. Provings προτάθηκαν το 1867 από τον W. S. Searle στο N.
A. J. of H., v. 16, p. 1, και έγιναν το ίδιο έτος από τους Berridge, Croker, Eay και Scheibler. Άλλα provings έγιναν το 1869 από τους Lilienthal, Safford, Williams, Ferguson και Labeau. Το 1870, ο C.
Hering έκανε μια πλήρη κατάταξη των αποτελεσμάτων από όλες τις διαθέσιμες πηγές με τη μορφή μονογραφίας για το Journal of Materia Medica.

249 COCOULUS.
COCCULUS.
Cocculus Indicus. Menispermacese.
Tincture of the powdered seeds, which contain a crystallizable principle, Picrotoxine, a powerful poison.
Cocculus was used by the ancients as a poison for fish, stupefying them, and rendering it easy to catch them.
It has been, and still is, extensively used for adulterating malt liquors.
It was known to the Arabian physicians, and for a long time imported into Europe from the Levant. It is now brought exclusively from the East Indies.
It was first introduced into the Materia Medica and used as a remedy by Hahnemann, who proved it on himself and his disciples. Reil employed a tinc- ture of the seeds with success in chorea, hemiplegia from cold, and paralysis of bladder from the same cause.

COCCUS CACTI.
Cochineal. Hemiptera.
This insect is found wild in Mexico and Central America, inhabiting differ- ent species of cactus and allied genera of plants.
It is also cultivated to some extent in Texas and New Mexico.
The female insect is the one used in medicine and commerce.
They are collected and killed either by immersing in boiling water or over the heat of a fire.
The insect has a peculiar coloring matter or principle, called by most authorities Cochinilin
Hale's Symptomatology.
The complete symptomatology was first published in Metcalf 's New Homcso- pathic Provings, 1863.
The female insects perish quickly after having deposited their eggs, which are hatched in the sun and give origin to innumerable insects, which spread themselves over the plant; after fecundation, the females, which before moved about, attach themselves to the leaves and increase rapidly in size, so that in the end, legs, antennae and proboscis are scarcely discoverable, and they appear like excrescences on the plant ; they are then gathered with a blunt knife, quill or feather

Dr.
Cretin calls attention to the confusion which frequently prevails in French homoeopathic literature between the Cochineal, Coccus cacti; and the lady-bii-d, Coccionella septempunctata, both being known in that language as Cochenille.
He points out that it is Coccus cacti which is used in whooping cough, while the medicine which Dr.
Jousset recommends in some cases of prosopalgia is Coc- cinella.— 5.

Coffee. Rubiacese.
Introduced by the Dutch into Java about 1690.
The Coffee plant is a small tree from 15 to 30 feet in height ; the branches are opposite, gradually diminishing in length as they ascend, forming a pyra- midal summit, which is covered with green foliage throughout the year; the leaves are opposite, smooth, dark green, oblong-ovate and four or five inches long, the flowers are white, with an odor resembling jasmine, the fruit is first green, then red, and ultimately dark purple

For medical use we take that which is imported under the name of Levantic (Mocha beans).
We use the raw, not the roasted bean.
When Cofiee is roasted it destroys the caffein and changes it into caffeone — this is stimulating like tobacco.
Hahnemann's caution in this respect is justified.
His treatise on the effects of Coffee was published in Leipzig in 1803.
A full proving of coffee by five persons, one of whom was Hahnemann, is recorded by Stapf in his additions to the Materia Medica, and contains 246 symptoms.
Caffeine, the alkaloid of Coffea, contains the toxic principles of coffee in a very concentrated form.
It was first discovered by Runge, and afterwards by Robiquet.
It occurs in long, snow-white, opaque, odorless crystals, sometimes conjoined into feathery crystals, of a feeble, bitter taste.

COLCHICUM AUTUMNALE.
Meadow Saffron. Liliacese.
The Autumn Crocus, or Meadow Saffron, is found in most parts of temperate Europe, especially near Rome.
Colchicum was well known to the ancients, who possessed extensive knowl- edge of its properties and uses.
Alexander of Tralles, in the fifth century, says that although it speedily re- lieves the pain and soreness of an attack of gout, it nevertheless favors the frequent recurrence of attacks, an opinion repeated by recent authorities.

CONIUM MACULATUM. 400
CONIUM MACULATUM.
Spotted, or Poison Hemlock. Umbelliferse.
A native of Europe, but naturalized in the United States.
The active princi- ple is Conia, a yellowish, oily, transparent fluid, lighter than water, of an acrid, nauseous, tobacco-like taste.
It is very volatile; slightly soluble in water; its combinations with acids do not easily crystallize, and are very soluble and poison- ous.
It was known in ancient times, but not used until recently as an internal medicine.
It was employed in the execution of political offenders, and was the means of Socrates' death.
Dioscorides recommended the dried plant to be applied upon the genitals, to remedy nocturnal pollutions, and upon the breasts of girls, to prevent their development.
Pliny and Avicenna recommended poultices of it to remove tumors of breasts and testes, and to suppress the secretion of milk.
Proved by Hahnemann and his pro vers; see Encyclopedia, v. 3, p. 519.

CROTALUS HORRIDUS.
Rattlesnake poison. Crotalidse.
The first regular provings of the poison were made by C.
Hg., and his prov- ers, who proved the first and second triturations, see Bering's Monograph on the Effects of Snake Poisons, 1837; a single proving with the third dilution on an unmarried ]ady, set. 35, by Stokes, is recorded among the aforementioned, and the effects of the bite, from various sources, recorded in v. 3 of Encyclopedia.
The Monograph on Crotalus, by J.
W.
Hayward, of Liverpool, published 1884, is the most complete record of the effects of Crotalus virus on the sick and well we have had hitherto.
We have drawn from it largely to complete our collection of clinical and guiding symptoms, rendering due thanks to the author of the valu- able monograph who thereby enriched our literature.

CROTON TIGLIUM. 504
CROTON TIGLIUM.
Σπέρματα ελαίου Croton. Euphorbiaceae.
Ο σπόρος του Croton αναφέρεται από τον Avicenna και τον Serapion.
Ο Cristoph d'Acosta είναι ο πρώτος Ευρωπαίος που τον περιέγραψε, το έτος 1578.
Οι ιατροί του δέκατου έβδομου αιώνα τον χρησιμοποιούσαν πολύ λίγο.
Στους σύγχρονους χρόνους, λόγω του φαρμακευτικού του ελαίου, ήλθε περισσότερο στην προσοχή των ιατρών.
Οι επιδράσεις του ελαίου, ληφθέντος ή εφαρμοσθέντος, καταγράφονται στην Encyclopedia, τ. 3, σ. 606, με τα κύρια συμπτώματα να προέρχονται από τη συλλογή provings (δοκιμασιών φαρμάκου) του J.
