At the weekly meeting on Saturday of the Norfolk
Cattle Plague Association, Mr. C. S. Read, M.P.,
presiding, it was stated that the amount voted in
compensations at the last sitting of the sub-commit-
tee was £l,llB 15s. 11d. The total sum granted in
compensations during the last four weeks had been
£4,420. The whole of the rate of 2d. in the pound
made in August was now absorbed, but subscriptions
to the amount of £6,500 still remained nearly intact.
After a considerable discussion as to the best means
of raising further funds, the subject was remitted
to the sub-committees, who will present a report to
a public meeting to be held in a fortnight. Mr.
Forrester presented a report on experimental treat-
ment carried out under the auspices of the London
Homoeopathic Association ; the general result was
by no means favourable. Lord Bury, however, con-
tended that the experiment had not been fully car-
ried through, and that the treatment prescribed in
respect to diet had not been strictly attended to.
Many fresh cases of disease were reported. On the
other hand, one or two districts in which deaths
had occurred were now reported to be healthy.

SUFFOLK.

The disease has, it is feared, made its appearance
in the Cosford division. It has also broken out at
Lidgate. Cases of disease have also occurred at
Stoke Ash, Occold, Eye, &c. At the last Ixworth
petty sessions Michael Stubbings was convicted of
hrving brought or sent into the Blackbourn district,
on the 25th ult., certain bullocks for the purpose of
exhibition or sale, and Edward Deeks, innkeeper, of
Barnham, was convicted of having received the
beasts for the purpose of such exhibition or sale,
contrary to the orders issued by the local authority
of the hundred in pursuance of the Orders in Coun-
cil. Stubbings was fined £2O and costs, £3 4s. Bd.,
and Decks was fined £3 and costs, £3 4s. Bd.

BREAKFAST BEVERAGE.—Homccopathic practitioners, and
the medical profession generally, recommend cocoa as being
the most healthful of all beverages. When the doctrine of
homoeopathy was first introduced into this country, there
were to be obtained no preparations of cocoa either attrac-
tive to the taste or acceptat le to the stomach ; the nut was
either supplied in the crude state, or so unskilfully manu-
factured as to obtain little notice. J. Epps, of London,
homoeopathic chemist, was Induced in the year 1839 to turn
his attention to this subje.t, 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 pert. et trituration it re^eaves in the process it passes
through, as to be most acceptable to the delicate stomach.
For general use Epps' cocoa is distinguished as an invigo-
rating,
grateful breakfast beverage, with a delicious aroma.
