Hrillat-Savarin. the author of the " I'hysioloj^ie ilii (*<»ui.' 

 remarks: " The persons who hal>iluaily take Chocolate are those 

 who enjoy the most equable and constant health, and are least 

 liable to a mullilude of illnesses which spoil the enjoyment of life." 



Mr. (). L. Symonds. in his work on the Commercial Protlucts 

 of the Vegetable Kingtlom, says : " Cocoa is of domestic drinks the 

 most alimentary ; it is without any exception the cheapest fcvxl 

 that we can conceive, as it may be literally termed meat and drink, 

 and were our half-starved artizans and over-worked factory children 

 induced to drink it, instead of ihe innutritions beverage called tea. 

 its nutritive qualities would soon develop themselves in their 

 improved looks and more robust condition." The heads of the 

 Xaval and Military Departments in I'^ngland have been so 

 impressed with the superior nutritive properties of Cocoa that it 

 is served out twice or three times a week to regiments of the line, 

 and daily to the seamen on board 1 Irr Majesty's ships. 



The importance of these facts in conneclion with the use 

 of Cocoa will at once be api)arent when we compare the analysis 

 of Cocoa nibs, which contain all the natural butter, with Cocoa 

 essence, from which about two-thirds has been removed. It is 

 also interesting to note th.ii Cocoa compares very favourably 

 with pure, dried milk : —
