ESSENCE OF COFFEE.

A BOUT Two years ago a new discovery
IA was made in Europe, consisting of q
substitute for the ordinary store coffee, called
Essence of Coffee, which has gone INTO gen.
eral use with astonishing rapidity, not only
among the poorer classes, who al once dis
pensed with the use of the celebrated Chick
DRY Coffee, but is now in general use in the
weallhiest families and the first hotels, aud
is highly recommended by the medical fac
ulty.
1t is extracted from pure, wholesome veg
elables. and excels all similar preparations
that have ever been offered to the public,
either in this country or in Europe. lis SUI
nerior quality has already been attested 10 in
the cities by some of the most eminent phys
%icians, and a number of the most distinguish.
ed of the clergy and other highly respectable
citizens. Coffee made from this essence ac-
cording TO the prescription obtains a more
delicious and pleasant favor than the COM
mon store coffee, and is certainly more
wholesome, especially for persons in deli.
