developed. The singular success which Mr. Epps
attained by his homosopathic preparation of cocoa has
never been surpassed by any experimentalist Far and
wide the reputation of Bppo's cocoa has spread by the
simple force of its own extraordinary merit.. Medical
men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommending
