BRIAR rem : A Succassert. EXPIIIIIMIT.—The Civil
Service Gazette has the following :—"The?. are very few
simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable
and important dietary properties as cocoa. While acting
on the nerves ass gentle atimulant, it provides the body
with swim of the purest elements of nutrition, and at
the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the
digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend In a
great measure upon the manner of its preparation,
but of late years such close 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 singular success which Mr. Epps
attained by his bornampatbic preparation of cocoa has
never been surpassed by any eaperimentalieL Far and
wide the reputation of Epps's cocoa has spread by the
simple form of its owe extraordinary merits. Medical
men of all shades of opinion 13 rive agreed in recommending
Ii us the safest and most beneficial article of diet for
persons of weak constitution. This superiority of •
particular mode of preparation over all others is a
remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained
from little causes. By • thorough knowledge of the
natural laws which govern the operations of digestion
and nutrition, and by • careful application of the fine
properties of wellselected cocoa, Hr. Epps has provided
our breakfast tables with • dellostely flavoured
beverage which may save no many heavy doctors' bills.
It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that
• constitution may be gradually built up until strong
enough to resist every tendency to diagram. Hundreds
of subtle maladies are Coating around us ready to
attack wherever there is • weak point. We may
escape many • fatal shaft by keeping overselves
