The reason why so many are unable to take Cocoa is that the varieties commonly sold are mixed with starch, under the plea of rendering them soluble; while really making them thick, heavy, and indigestible. This may be easily detected, for If Cocoa thickens in the cup it proves the addition of starch. Cadbury's Cocoa Essence is genuine ; it is therefore three times the strength of these Cocoas, and a refreshing beverage like tea or coffee.
