COCOA A.\'D CHOCOLATE. 



the whole with a good 

 draught of soconusco 

 chocolate, and thank 

 God for a stomach of 

 such superior activity. 

 " This gives me an 

 opportunity to make an 

 observation whose ac- 

 curacy may be de- 

 pended upon. 



"After a good, 

 complete, and copious 



,^^^^^__^_ breakfast, if we take 



in addition a cup of well-made chocolate, digestion will be perfectly 

 accomplished in three hours, and we may dine whenever we like. Out 

 of zeal for science, and by dint of eloquence, I have induced many 

 ladies to try this experiment. They all declared, in the beginning, that 

 it would kill them ; but they have all thriven on it, and have not failed 

 to glorify their teacher. 



"The people who make constant use of chocolate are the ones who 

 enjoy the most steady health, and are the least subject to a multitude of 

 little ailments which destroy the 

 comfort of life ; their plumpness is 

 also more equal. These are two 

 advantages which every one may 

 verify among his own friends, and 

 wherever the practise is in use."

 the French Institute, in an inter-
