- COMMENTS - Teste grouped Coff.
- with  Caust.
- He remarked that potentized Coff.
- prevents or neutralizes in 
many persons the effects of roasted coffee.
- Teste noted that this quasi -isopathic action is by no means 
confined to Coff., potentizations of many other drugs being antidotal to secondary effects of the crude 
substances.
- Hahnemann described the migraine of cof fee-drinkers thus: “It comes in the morning after waking increasing 
little by little.
- The pain becomes intolerable and sometimes burning integument of head very sensitive and 
painful on slightest touch.

close their 
Coffea cruda eyes to avoid light of day, remain seated in an armchair or stretched on a bed.

- The body 
is colder than usual though no chills are experienced, the hands and feet are especially cold.
- “They loathe everything, especially food and drink, on account of a continual sickness at the  stomach.
- If the 
attack is very violent a vomiting of mucus takes place, which, how ever, does notrelieve the headache.
- There 
are no alvine discharges.
- This kind of megrim scarcely ever leaves before evening.
- “If the paroxysm is less violent, a little strong coffee which was the first cause of such a headache will produce 
a temporary palliation of the pain, but the disposition to relapse becomes so much greater.
- The attacks come irregularly, every fortnight or every few weeks without any apparent cause and quite 
suddenly, so much so that the patient often does not feel a single unpleasant symptom the evening preceding 
 
 
the attack.
- Such a headache has never been seen by me except in real cof fee-drinkers.” 
More recently.
- Dr.
- Gilles de la Tourette (Lancet, July  20, 1895) has described the effects of coffee.
- In his 
opinion they are very frequently mistaken for the effects of alcohol.
- “Morning vomiting of glairy mucus, pain in the pit of the stomach, thickly -coated tongue, loss of appetite.
- The 
disgust excited by even the idea of solid food is such that these patients eat nothing else but bread soaked in 
their poison—coffee.
- There supervene then nausea, vomiting and painful acid belchings.” 
The effects of coffee are less deep than those of alcohol and quickly disappear when the habit is discontinued.
