{{anchor:s6}}A bush six or eight feet high, small white flowers and bright green leaves. {{anchor:s7}}The leaves are two and half inches long and half as wide; the characteristic sign of the leaf is an arched line on each side of the midrib. {{anchor:s8}}Coca was first used in the United States as a tobacco antidote. {{anchor:s9}}It is known to have been in use with the Peruvians since the Conquest. {{anchor:s10}}In the time of the Incas the Coca was regarded as sacred. {{anchor:s11}}It is largely cultivated in Bolivia for the sake of its leaves, which are much used in that country for chewing. {{anchor:s12}}In 1856 the sale of the leaves secured an income to the Republic of thirteen million francs. {{anchor:s13}}It is now in general use among the Indians as a narcotizing beverage. {{anchor:s14}}The plant, which is propagated from the seed in nurseries, begins to yield in eighteen months and continues productive for half a century.
