Breakfast.—A Successful Experiment.—The Civil Service Gazette has 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 3 purest elements of nutrition, and at the same time corrects and invigorates the action of the digestive organs. These beneficial effects depend in a great measure upon the rianner of its preparation, but of late years such close attention has been.given to the growth and treatment of cocoa, tint there is no difficulty i'> securing it with every useful quality fully developed. The singular succes which Mr Epps attained by his homoeopathic preparation of cocoa ha* never been surpassed by any experimentalist. Ear and wide the reputation of Epps's Cocoa has spread by the simple force of its own extraordinary merits Medical 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 ill others is a remarkable proof of tingreat results to be obtained from litlit causes. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by acarefu* application of the fine properties of well selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided oui breakfast tanles with a delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' bills. It is by the judicious us. of such articles of diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until enough to resist eveiy tendency to di ease Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack wherever tnen is a weak point. We may escape many m fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well forti tied with pure blood and a properly nou iahed frame." 1-5
