   • 1731, Christian Gottfried Stentzel, Johann Gustav Rudolph, Dissertatio medico-iuridica de venenis sterilitatem inducentibus quam praeside Christiano Godofredo Stentzelio, page 38:

     Quo certior, quo magis euicta uis deleteria atque antaphrodiſiaca cicutae, eo innocentior Caffeae potus, eo magis occultum, quod in illo nonnulli quaerunt, ſterilitatis uenenum; Communis fere eſt fabula, quod potus Caffeae, illos, qui hoc delectantur, elumbes atque impotentes reddat, contrarium uero docet experientia, cum plures, qui continuo, ad nauſeam usque Caffeae infuſum hauriunt, maxime alacres, maxime ſolertes in bello ueneris ſint.

   • 2019, Harper Lee, translated by Andrew Wilson, Avem Occidere Mimicam, London: Souvenir Press, Profile Books Ltd, →ISBN:

     Calpurnia Amitae Alexandrae plus caffeae dabat, sed mihi dare recusavit quamquam vultu adeo dulci ad illam intuebar, quo, credebam, eam implorarem et persuaderem. “Nimis parva es adhuc,” inquit, “certiorem te faciam quando non sis.” dixi caffeae paulum fortasse aptum fore stomacho meo.

     [original: Calpurnia was serving Aunt Alexandra more coffee, and she shook her head at what I thought was a pleading winning look. “You’re still too little,” she said. “I’ll tell you when you ain’t.” I said it might help my stomach.]
