I GEORGE GROUT of 6 Harringay Grove Hornsey Middlesex do hereby declare the
nature of my said invention to be as follows:-
The object of this invention is to add to or combine with the usual tonic and
comforting properties of Cocoa and Chocolate an addition property of a stimulating
and refreshing nature.
Advantage is taken of the well known properties of the Erythroxylon Coca or
Cuca Leaves as used so largely by the inhabitants of Peru and Bolivia.
In carrying out this invention I take Cuca leaves reduced by any convenient
method to an impalpable powder and combine or mix them in any pre-arranged
proportion with the usual commercial preparations of Cocoa or Chocolate during any
of the grinding or mixing processes which the Cocoa or Chocolate has to undergo
during its manufacture.
The amount of powdered Cuca leaves added may vary according to the refreshing
and stimulating effect desired to be produced.
Instead of the powdered Cuca leaves, any preparation of the Cuca whereby its
refreshing and stimulating properties are extracted, may be used.
I would wish it to be understood, that what I claim is :-
The addition of the stimulating and refreshing properties of the Erythroxylon
Coca or Cuca to preparations of Cocoa and Chocolate in any pre-arranged pro-
portion according to the stimulating and refreshing effect desired to be produced.
Dated this 11th day of June 1886.
