EPP3'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COMFORTING.— "By a
thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern
the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a care-
ful application of the fine properties of well-selected
Cocoa, Mr. Epps hal provided our breakfast tables with
a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many
heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious ute of such
articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually
built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to
disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating
around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak
point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping
ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly
nourished frame."—Civil Service Gaxette.— Sold only
