The author in 1897, had the privilege, through the kindness 

 ■of the proprietors, of visiting the large Factories of Messi-s. 

 Rowntree of York and Messrs. Cadbury of Birmingham. The 

 cleanliness and ca(-e with which the various preparations were 

 made in these works is hardly possible to excel, and the materials 

 used were of the finest quality. Regarding adulteration with sugar, 

 manufacturers admib it, and declare that the Public demand it so, 

 .and that the sweetest chocolate sells the best. While this state of 

 things e.Kist, ic is perhaps hopeless to expect any large quantitie.s of 

 pure Cacao preparations to be manufactured, as the Factories can- 

 not be blamed for supplying the popular demand. Nearly all first- 

 class makers, however, make the pure preparations, which can be 

 obtained if asked for, and these are gaining way slowly with the 

 intelligent, but the mass still buys the cheap, sweet and starchy 

 jnixtures which are sold under the names of Cacao and Chocolate.
