BREAKFAST COCOA: “By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws wh ; ch govern the operations of digestion and nuii.'.'on, and by a careful application of the f.r.e properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps hi.s provided our breakfast tables with a delicately-flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doctors’ bills. It is by the judi cious use of such articles of diet, that a constitu tion may be gradually built up until strong enough to resist every tendency to disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us, ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a properly nourished frame.” —The Civil Service Gazette. SOLD ONLY IN PACKETS LABELLED JAMES EPPS AND CO.
