BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homoeopathic practitioners,
anscl being thn medical profession generally, recommend cocoa
a
the most healthful of all beverages. When the doc-
trine of homoeopathy was first introduced into this country,
there were to la,l obt fined no preparations of cocoa either at-
tractive to the taste or acceptable to the stomach ; the nut
was either supplied to the crude state, or so unskilfully
manufactured as to obtain little notice. J. Ep es, 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
1 to produce an article pure in its composition, and so refined
by the perfect ti iturat:on it rezeives in the process it passes
thro gh, 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. llassa 1, in his wo.k, "Food and its
Adulteratio s," says -"Cocoa contaiLs a great variety of Im-
portant nutritive principles—every ingredient nem ss
the growth nod sustenance of the toffy."
