A SCCCVIIINTL )'XPER MEW f. —The &rrite Gazette
has the following:—" There are very few simple article.
of food which can boast so many valuable and important
dietary properties as cocoa. While acting on the nerves
as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of
the purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time
corrects and invigorated the action of the digestive or-
gans. These beneficial effects depend in • great mea-
sure upon the manner of its preparation, but of late years
snch clone attention has been given to the growth and
treatment of cocoa that there is no difficulty in securing
it with every useful quality fully developed. The alum'.
tar success which Mr. Epp attained by hia homeopathic
preparation of cocon bas never been eurpassed by any ex-
perimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Epps'a
Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraor-
dinary merits. Medical men of all shades of opinion
have agreed in recommending it as the safest and most
beneficial article of diet for persons of weak constitu-
tions. This superiority of a particular made of prepare-
Con over all others is a remarkable proof of the great
result. to be obtained from little causes. By a thorough
knowledge of the natural laws which govern the opera-
tions of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful appliert-
tion of the fine properties of well.neleeted cocoa, Mr.
Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately
flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc-
tors' bills. It is by the judicious one of ouch articles ,if
diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until
istrung enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hun-
dredn of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to
attack whereever there is a weak point. We may es-
cape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well forti-
fied with pure blood and a properly nourishes' frame.
