COCOA AND CHOC OLA TE. 



Christoph Wilhelm Hufeland, the distinguished German physician, 



says : 



I recommend good chocolate to nervous, excitable persons; a 

 to the weak, debilitated, and infirm ; to children and women. I have 

 obtained excellent results from it in many cases of chronic diseases of 

 the digestive organs." 



Dr. Karl Ernest Bock, of Leipsic, author of a "Traitt de Pathologic 

 et de Diagnostic," says : - 



" The nervousness and peevishness of our times are chiefly attribu- 



f table to tea and coffee; 



the digestive organs of 

 confirmed coffee drink- 

 ers are in a r state of 

 chronic derangement, 

 which reacts upon the 

 brain, producing fretful 

 and lachrymose moods. 

 Cocoa and chocolate are 

 neutral in their physical 

 effects, and are really the 

 most harmless of our 

 fashionable drinks." 

 Jean Baptiste Alphonse Chevalier, in his treatise on chocolate, 

 says : 



"Cocoa and chocolate are a complete food; coffee and tea are not 

 food. Cocoa gives one third its weight in starch and one half in cocoa 

 butter ; and, converted into chocolate by the addition of sugar, it real- 

 izes the idea of a complete aliment, wholesome and eminently hygienic. 

 The shells of the bean contain the same principles as the kernels, and 

 the extract, obtained by an infusion of the shells in sweetened milk, 

 forms a mixture at once agreeable to the taste and an advantageous, 

 substitute for tea and coffee."
