BREAKFAST. 



"By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws 

 which govern the operations of digestion and nutri- 

 tion, and by a careful application of the fine prop- 

 erties of well-selected Cocoa, Mr, Epps has provided 

 our breakfast tables with a delicately flavored 

 beverage which may save us many heavy doctors' 

 bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of 

 diet that a constitution may be graduaUy built up 

 until strong enough to resist every tendency to 

 disease. Hundreds of subtle maladies are floating 

 around us ready to attack wherever there is a weak 

 point. We may escape many a fatal shaft by keep- 

 ing ourselves well fortified with pure blood and a 

 properly nourished frame. Civil Service Gazette.

 only in half-pound tins by Grocers, labeUed thus:
