He remarked that potentized Coff. prevents or neutralizes in \nmany persons the effects of roasted coffee. Teste noted that this quasi -isopathic action is by no means \nconfined to Coff., potentizations of many other drugs being antidotal to secondary effects of the crude \nsubstances. \nHahnemann described the migraine of cof fee-drinkers thus: \u201cIt comes in the morning after waking increasing \nlittle by little. The pain becomes intolerable and sometimes burning integument of head very sensitive and \npainful on slightest touch. Body and mind excessively sensitive. Patients look exhausted, retire to dark places, \nclose their \nCoffea cruda eyes to avoid light of day, remain seated in an armchair or stretched on a bed.  \n\u201cThe least noise or motion excites the pain. They avoid talking, being talked to or hearing others talk. The body \nis colder than usual though no chills are experienced, the hands and feet are especially cold.  \n\u201cThey loathe everything, especially food and drink, on account of a continual sickness at the  stomach. If the \nattack is very violent a vomiting of mucus takes place, which, how ever, does notrelieve the headache. There \nare no alvine discharges. This kind of megrim scarcely ever leaves before evening.  \n\u201cIf the paroxysm is less violent, a little strong coffee which was the first cause of such a headache will produce \na temporary palliation of the pain, but the disposition to relapse becomes so much greater.  \nThe attacks come irregularly, every fortnight or every few weeks without any apparent cause and quite \nsuddenly, so much so that the patient often does not feel a single unpleasant symptom the evening preceding \n \n \nthe attack. Such a headache has never been seen by me except in real cof fee-drinkers.\u201d \nMore recently. Dr. Gilles de la Tourette (Lancet, July  20, 1895) has described the effects of coffee. In his \nopinion they are very frequently mistaken for the effects of alcohol. \n\u201cMorning vomiting of glairy mucus, pain in the pit of the stomach, thickly -coated tongue, loss of appetite. The \ndisgust excited by even the idea of solid food is such that these patients eat nothing else but bread soaked in \ntheir poison\u2014coffee. There supervene then nausea, vomiting and painful acid belchings.\u201d \nThe effects of coffee are less deep than those of alcohol and quickly disappear when the habit is discontinued. \nCharacteristic exaltation of the senses and sensibility in general (Aeon.).
