COFFKir ITS ORIGI.V AMD KFFKCTI.i
O coffee 1 thou tlispelleat the careii of the
freal; thou Lringest back those w!io wander
from tbe patha of knowledge. Coffee is the
beverage of Ihe people of (Jod, and the cordial
of his servants who thirst for wisdom. When
coffee is infufed into the bowl, it exhales the
odor of musk, and is of tb,e color of ink. The
truth is not known except to the wise, who
drink it fn.m the foaming coffee cup. God has
deprived fools of coffee, who with invinciblo
obstinacy condemn it as injurious.
Coffee is out gold, and in the place of its li
bations we are in the enjoyment of Ihe best end
noblest society. Coffee is even as innocent a
r'rink as Ihe pu re M milk, Irotn which it is only
distinguished by its color. Tarry with thy cof
fee in the place of its preparation, and the good
God will hover over thee and participate in his
least. There the pracesof the saloon, the luxu
ry of life, Ihe'society of fripndf, all furnish a
picture of the abide nf happiness.
'Every care vanishes when the cupbearer
presents llieii the delicious elm I ice. It will
circulate fleetly through thy veins, and will not
lankle there: iltliou doubt est this, contemplate
the youth and beauty of those who drink il.
Grief cannot exict where it grows; sorrow
humbles itself in obedience before ils powers.
'Coffee is the drink of God's people; in it is
health. Let this bo the answer to thoe who
doubt its qualities. In it will we drown our
adversities, and in its fire consume our sorrows.
Whoever has once ecn the blissful ehlice, will
scorn the wine cup. Glorious drink thy color
is the seal ot purity, and reason proclaims it
genuine. Drink with confidence, and regard
not the prattle of tools, who condemn without
foundation."
The Ibregning encomium, or rather titode, on
tlicjvirtnes of coffee, was taken by the Tran
sylvania Journal of Medicine from a German
Journal for 1834; for which it is said to have
been translated from the Arabic ol Sheik Abdal
Kader Anasori Pjpseri Ilaubali, ton of Moham
med. Of its extravsgnnce we shall be better
able to judge by and by.
Co floe was introduced into Europe and A
merica, as a common drink, much later than
tea. It was indeed brought there more than
two centuries ago; but it is only one hundred
and Bovcnty-one years since the first coffee
house was opened. This was in Paris.
Coff-'e is a native of Abyssinia. From thence
it found its way into Arabia, in the sixth centu
ry probably aa a substitute for wine, when
that liquor was first prohibited by the Koran.
It appears, however, to have been, for some
lime, used as a medicine rather than as a com
mon beverage, for it was not till near the close
of Ihe 15ih century that it became a frequent
favorite, even in Arabia. In 1511 its use had
extended to Cairo.
Opposition to it was. however, soon excited,
and a fenlenee of condemnation pronounced a
gsinet it, at Mecca, by an assembly of muftis,
lawyers and physicians. They declared coffee
drinking to bo contrary to the law of their pro
phet, and alike injurious to soul and body. Soon
the pulpits at Cairo resounded with anathe
mas; all the stores or magazines of the sedi
tious berry were burnt; the saloons were shut,
and their keepers pel'ed with tho fragments of
their btoken pots and cups. The tumult, how
ever, soon subrided, for Ihe Sultan, by public
decree, declared coffee drinking not to be here
sy ,' and the two principal physicians who had
pronounced it to be pernicious to health, he
caused to be executed.
From Cairo this upiciotis liquor passed In
Damascus and Aleppo; and thence, in 1554, to
Constantinople. Here, as at Cairo, it waa op
posed by the demies and others, who regarded
! its use as prohibited by the prophet. Thev csl-

The shop keeper being unsuccessful in Paris,
Iterward removed to London.
Here the new drink was destined to meet
with more powerful opposition than in Asia
or Africa, Ministers, as well as others, declai
med against it, soma of them with much vio
lence. Probably it was seen to be used chiefly,
if not wholly, for tbe sake of its nervous ex
citement. The following is said to be an extract
from one of the sermons ol those days, against
the vottriee of coffee end tobacco. It is inser
ted as curiosity, rather than with approbation
of lu denunciatory spirit.
'They cannot wait till the smoke of the in-1 Dr. 3.' A. Shurtleff, a physician ufB.Mtnn,
fernal rerrinns stirrminda them, but encompass I says Of all the common beverages d rank in
themselves with smoke of their own accord, and
drink a poison which God made black that it
might bear the devil's own color.'
Coffee, however, like spirits, tobacco, opium,
and other nervous excitants in a world where
men are governed by appetite rather than by
reason was destined to have a run, and a
prodigious run too. For one hundred and fifty
years its use has been extending, and it is now
found in nearly all parts of the civilized globe.
The exact amount used in the whole world
indeed in any part of it cannot be exactly
ascertained. The quantity imported into Eng
land, for the year 1832, was within a fraction of
5O.(XX).00O lbs., but il is supposed that about
half of it was re-exported. In 1310, the quanti
ty consumed in the countries of Europe annual
ly was estimated as follows: France including
Spain, Italy, vtc.,al)(iiit70,000,000 lbs.; Nether
lands and Holland, 81,000,000; Germany, and
the countries round the Da I tic, (54,000,000.
The consumption of coffee, in tho United
S'.atea has been rapidly incrcas ng for many
years. In 1821, tha importation was only
21,273,650 lbs. ; whereas in 1830, fifteen years
afterward, the amount was 03,700,507, and the
actual consumption nearly as great During
the seven years ending in 1838, the consump
tion increased one hundred per cent., while
the population itself advanced only thirty three
per cent.

Sinihaldi, en Italian medical writer of some
eminence, has the following remarks 'The
commerce which we have opened with Asia
and the new world, in addition to the small pox
and other diseases, has brought us a new Jtinh,
which has contributed most shockingly to the
destruction of our constitutions I mean coffee.
It produces debility, alters the gastric juice,
disorders digestion, and olten produces convul
sions, palsy of the lio.bs. and vertigo.'
Linnaius, in his 'Medical Botanical System,'
represents coffee as being 'dryinjr, exciting,
healing, expelling, carminativo, diuretc, anti-
venersl and an'helinintic,' Ho speaks of it.
moreover, as of known usefulness in that long
list of nervous complaints, at the head nf wbirh
stand hypochondriasis and hysteria. Surely it
such powers do not entitle it to the name of a
dicine r.rcottc-will hardly be questioned j "pd,cine- 1'" l'-' know n
by any medical man of the present day ; nor
indeed by any individual who has paid but the
smallest attention to ila effects on the human
)tem. It may be well, however, to cite a
few of the more respectable testimonials.
Hooper, in his Medical Dictionary, saya 'It
possesses nervine and astringent qualities.' 'Il
is said lo be a good antidote against an over
dose ot opium, and to relieve obstinate spasmo
dic astmas.' A substance, by Ihe way, which
is a nervine, and has the power of relieving
spasm, is of course narcotic, or diffusible sti
mulant. Dr. Taris says 'It is suspected of producing
palsies and not without foundation.' Here
one might be disposed to ask Do we want a
stronger reason for believing coffee to bo a nar
cotic, than the lactof its producing palsy!
Dr. Willich represents coffee aa possessing
what could,
Drs. IVrcival, Mulgrave and MiUengen, re-
commend coffee in esses nf ostium , and the
latter, in speaking nf its ineilicinil cfleo's, says.
it is li.ible to produce tevrrich heat, anxti ty,
palpitations, trembling, weakness of sight, snd
predisposition to apoplexy.
Dr. Grindal, of Russia, in his attendance at
the hospital at Dor pot has used a preparation
of raw coffee in intermittent fevers, as a aubsti-
tuto for Peruvian bark, with greet ruccets. In
eighty cases, scarcely one resitted its power.
Tbe Encyclopmdia Americans, in an article
which was probably written by Dr. Lieber, one
of the editors, says, 'Asa medicine, strong cof
fee is a powerful stimulant and cordial ; and in
paroxysms ol tho asthma, is one ol (he beet re
medies; but it should be very strong.'
Dr. Burdell, ot New York, has made many
