"The preparation of Coca known as 'Vin Mariani' is theone to which I resort in meeting the exigencies incident toexcessive and habitual worry and functional brain trouble.
"Of 'Vin Mariani' I need hardly speak, as the medicalprofession is already well aware of its virtues. Of all tonicpreparations ever introduced to the notice of the profession,this is undoubtedly the most potent for good in the treatmentof exhaustive and irritative conditions of the central nervoussystem.
"Mr. Angelo Mariani has spent many years in the carefulstudy of the Coca plant, and as a result his preparations are unrivaled.The medical profession certainly owes a debt of gratitudeto this gentleman for his valuable labors in this direction."
