Breakfast.—A Successful Experiment. —The Civil Service Gazette lias the following interesting remarks :—" There are very few simple articles of food which can boast so many valuable and important dietary properties as cocoa. While acting on the nerves as a gentle stimulant, it provides the body with some of th' purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the digestive organs. These bemficial Effects depend in a great measure"U;jon the manner of its preparation, but of late years <uoh close attention has been given to ihe growth and treatment of cocoa, that there is no difficulty in securing it with every useful quality fully developed. The singular Bucces which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. Far and wide the reputation of Eops's Cocoa has spread by the simple forcj of its own extraordinary merits MeiL'al men of all shades of opinion have agreed in recommending it as the safest and most beneficial article of diet for persons of weak constitutions. This superiority of a particular mode of preparation over all others is a remarkable proof of the great results to be obtained from little causes. 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 wellselected cocoa, «Mr Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy ] doctors' bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of diet that a constitution 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 pui'e blood and a properly nourished frame." 125
