Caffeine is found in tea, coffee, mate leaves, guarana paste, and cola nuts. See Experiment 11, p. 535, for additional information. The law on cola beverages is that they must not contain more than 0.02% caffeine (200 ppm), making no distinction between that added and that present naturally. 

A visit by the Federal men may make you think you are the victim of an informer. You could have been sold out by some brainless punk you ve been running with. People in nut groups are notorious for throwing each other to the wolves. But what usually leads them to you is your name on the mailing list of a group which is hostile to the U.S Government and ite law enforcement agencies. 

As with many new ideas, Dalton s theory was not immediately accepted. However, it led to a prediction that must be true if the theory is correct. This is now known as the Law of Multiple Proportions. It states that when two elements combine to form more than one compound, the different weights of one element that combine with the same weight of the other element are in a simple ratio of whole numbers (Fig. 5.2). This is like threading one, two, or three identical nuts onto the same bolt. The mass of the bolt is constant. The mass of two nuts is twice the mass of one the mass of three nuts is three times the mass of one. The masses of nuts are in a simple ratio of whole numbers, 1 2 3. 

Coca leaves were brought to Europe by the Spanish conquistadores, and cocaine was isolated from the leaves in the 1860s. In 1863, the French chemist Angelo Mariani created the tonic Vin Mariani , an extract of coca in Bordeaux wine. The non-alcoholic version Coca-Cola was invented in 1886 by the American Pharmacist John Pemberton, who mixed extracts of coca leaves and caffeine-containing cola nuts with soda. With the introduction of the first anti-drug laws in the USA in 1906, however, only decocainized leaves were used for the production of Coca-Cola. 

The power law form was apparently first proposed by Nutting (1921). In recent years [for example Torvik and Bagley (1984) and earlier papers by those authors and Koeller (1984)] this form [specifically (1.6.46) or (1.6.52a) plus constant] has inspired the application of the fractional calculus (calculus of fractional derivatives) to the description of viscoelastic phenomena, a possibility which had been suggested by several authors, notably Rabotnov (1948, 1969,...
