necessity for you to drop all your work

Cocoa may be given with advantage to
delicate children. and it has no injurious
effect on the nervous system, as Is
sometimes seen in the case OF tea or
coffee. 1t is necessary. however, to OBJ

mixed into highly sweetened pastes and
containing much oil are heavy and in
