The cocoa-bean contains an alkaloid called \W « "Theobromine," which is the principle of the X " CU P tkit cheers, but dots not inebriate* , flf^t^fcxfi fiJjMBJB The great point of difference between the stimulating (H^^Qi $BL ™ properties of alcohol, and that of theobromine is, that the W^^Sa tfWaß use of the former causes a subsequent depression, which is fl^m^S i)H proportional to the amount of stimulation it has previously 1 M *r brought about; the use of the latter (theobromine) is I M unattended by such unpleasant after-effects. Of course, M Yk only a first-class cocoa, such as Van Houten's, will work X IB in the aforesaid manner. That coco.t has been described as U S, "A triumph of science!"

It smells so fig B good, and tastes so delicious, that when you try it you will jsF' m certainly exclaim: " Ah! indeed, it if a triumph of science 1" V M HAVE YOU TRIED ~1 U ■ [ VAN HOUTEN'S Eating CHOCOLATE P | 1 iW# Smoka %^^^ VBBBBBBBbI HI JBTMT® I «\> TOBACCO , y^m W, '
