SOLUBLE COCOA,
Manufactured and Sold IT'holesale by
P,B,ITCH.ARD AND CORNTHWAITE,
LIVERPOOL.

firlHE various preparations of the COCOA NUT have ob-
tained considerable reputation as articles of diet for in-
valids, as well as affording grateful beverages in health. The
Nut from which they are prepared is of a farinaceouS nature,
combined with a peculiar kind of oil and nroma("and so well
Vended naturally, that it has been thought to cdntain alkaline
propet :les also: -It is a bland; sweet, and novishing food, and,
when desirable to support the constitutio9i' without producing
excitement, it is esteemed by the facun as one of the best
beverages for breakfast; luncheon, 4c.` A French physician
has asserted, that one ounce of cholulate contains more nutri-
ment than a pound of beef; and the experience of many other
physicians, of whom may be enumerated Hoffman, Cullen,
Quincy. and Baillie, has determined, that in hectic, scorbutic,
and melancholic diseases, it is genei'ally preferable to any other
diet. Water is the best solvent of it, although milk is the more
agreeable, and, therefore, more generally used. As it is of a
lubricating character, advantage has often been derived from
the use of it in gout and diseases of the alimentary canal.
"Chocolate is sold in Paris for the relief of cough, arising
front a deficiency of the natural mucus of the throat, and is
given to children of a scrofulous tendency, to nourish the con-
stitution.

- [The above is an extract from a work published in London,
by a respectable Chemist, on the properties of various articles
of diet and medicine.
In Philips's Historical and Botanical account of Fruits known
in Great Britain, are the following remarks on Cocoa:
''The Generic name is derived from two Greek words, signi-
fying the food of the gods.
"Chocolate is esteemed the most restorative of all aliments,
insomuch that one ounce of it is. said to nourish as much as a
pound of beef".
The Magazine of Useful Knowledge for 1833, page 120, re-
tnarks,—" The late reduction of duty will, probably, bring
Cocoa into more general consumption, as it is now half the
price of Coffee, and one-fifth that of Tea, and certainly far
more nutritious than either."

Soluble Cocoa is an entirely new and improved preparation
of cocoa, which wants only to he known to be esteemed. It
possesSes all the best qualities of Chocolate, and is more easily
prepared for use, being perfectly soluble. It requires only to
be used in the same proportion as Coffee; pour a little hot water
upon it, beat into a paste, add the remainder of water or milk
boiling, mill it well, and it is fit for immediate use. Sweeten.to
the palate.
, N.B.—lt should never be maze before wanted, as it may be
prepared for the table in less than one minute.

colate are manufactured and sold wholesale by P- RITCHA ITD and
