GEATEPUL-COMFOETING. BEEAKFAST. Ep pss r»o oo a By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operation! of digestion and nutrition, and by a' careful application of the fine properties of well-selected cocoa, Mr Epps has provided cur breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured 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 1 a fatal shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified r with pure blood and a properly nourished frame/—See article in the Civil &nios Gasstte.

Before negotiating with a merchant, before engaging with a confidesjtial clerk; before employing a barrister, a careful man makes enquiries as their standing, their length of occupancy or residenoe; and, in the oase of m legal adviser, both as to his legal qualifications and as to his capabilities of transacting the individual business he consults him upon. Strange to say, however, in the selection of medical man, the sufferer frequently omits these necessary precautions and without regard to the fitness, qualification, experience and ability for the particular ailment requiring treatment, he consults the nearest mant whose experience and practice, perhaps, lies in quite an opposite direction. ' Is it astonishing that so many are driven mad, are ruined in health, and are bankrupt in spirits, hope and money P Have I not for years pointed out to them that /, Dr L. L.
