BLE.AISPAST 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 iatroduced 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 I.i 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 pine in its co nposition, and so refined
by the perfect ti ituration it receives in the process it passes
thro Jgh, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps's Cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating, grateful breakfast beverage, possessing a most deli-
cious aroma, Dr. Hassa'l, in his wo.k, "Food and its
Adulteratio: s," says —" Cocoa contains a great variety of im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredi,tat necessary to
the growth and sustenance of the body." &gain: "As a
nutritive, cocoa stands very much higher than ether coffee
or tea." Directions—Two teaspoonfuls of the powder in a
breakfast cup, filled up with boiling water or milk. Secured
in tin-lined alb., ilb., and 11b. labelled packets, and sold by
all grocers, confectioners, and chemists.—CADvx.)
