GRATEFUL—COMFORTING. gPPS’S BREAKFAST COCOA “By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, "Mr. Epps has 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 arcund us, ready to attack wherever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure bicod and a properly nourished frame.”— The Civil Service Gazette.
