Framed Print of Coffee, Medicinal Plant, 1737
"A Curious Herbal", Plate 337. Coffee was introduced to Europe from the Arabic world. Its effectiveness as a promoter of wakefulness has long been known. Blackwell describes the drink as "Accounted good for those who are of a cold, flegmatic constitution. But for persons of a thin, hot and dry temperament, the drinking it too much may bring on them nervous distempers." Coffee (Coffea) is a genus of flowering plants whose seeds, called coffee beans, are used to make coffee. It is a member of the Rubiaceae family. People drink coffee to relieve mental and physical fatigue and to increase mental alertness. It is also used to prevent Parkinson's disease, gallstones, type 2 diabetes, gastrointestinal cancer, lung cancer, and breast cancer. Other uses include treatment of headache, low blood pressure, obesity, and attention deficit-hyperactivity disorder (ADHD). Rectally, coffee is used as an enema to treat cancer. Elizabeth Blackwell (1707-1758) was a famed Scottish illustrator and author who was best known as both the artist and engraver for the plates of "A Curious Herbal" (1737). © NLM / Science Source
