The 90th Regiment of the line arrived in Lyons
from Mexico the day before yesterday, and was receivedby
Marshal Canrobert at the head of his staff. The Marshal
pronounced a short addresss, in which he referred to the
services performed by the regiment, which was one of tile-
first to arrive at Vera Cruz, after which the troops filed off,
and took up their quarters at the camp of Savonay. The
20th battalion of Chasseurs, from Mexico, has also joined
the army of Lyons.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners,
and the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
as being the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to be obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied is the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
Homoeopathic Chemist, was induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subject, and at length succeeded, with
the assistance of elaborate machinery, in being the first
to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect trituration it receives in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Eppe's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma. Dr. Hassall, in his work, "Food and its
Adulterations," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." Again: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than either coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined ilb., ilb., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
411 grocer; coleationers, and chemists.—[lnyT.]
