THE HOUSE OF WALTER BAKER & CO. LTD. 67 
by Walter Baker & Co. Ltd., not only meets the indications, but 
accomplishes even more than is claimed for it.” . 
The Dietetic and Hygienic Gazette says : — 
‘‘ Walter Baker & Co., of Dorchester, Mass., U. S. A., have given 
years of study to the skilful preparation of cocoa and chocolate, and 
have devised machinery and systems peculiar to their methods of treat- 
ment, whereby the purity, palatability, 
and highest nutrient characteristics 
are retained. Their preparations are 
known the world over and have re- 
ceived the highest indorsements from 
the medical practitioner, the nurse, 
and the intelligent housekeeper and 
caterer. There is hardly any food 
product which may be so extensively 4 
used in the household in combination 
with other foods as cocoa and choco- uke Hane ese 
late; but here again we urge the 
importance of purity and nutrient value, and these important points, 
we feel sure, may be relied upon in Baker’s cocoa and chocolate.” _ 
The Dominion Medical Monthly, Toronto, Canada, says : — 
‘‘ There are on the market to-day a large number of so-called co- 
coas, all of them ‘ guaranteed’ to be ‘absolutely pure,’ but many of 
them adulterated. There are few articles which physicians find as 
much use for as this preparation of the cacao nut, and one of the 
difficulties which medical men have to overcome is to choose the pure 
from the impure, choosing the former and discarding the latter. 
Many persons declare firmly that they cannot digest cocoa, this being 
due to a certain degree of oiliness present. Pure cocoa acts as a 
gentle stimulant, and invigorates and corrects the action of the diges- 
tive organs, furnishing the body with some of the purest elements of 
nutrition. The firm of Walter Baker & Co. Ltd., of Dorchester,
