EPPS’ COCOA 
BREAKFAST. 
“ By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which 
govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a 
careful application of the fine properties of well-selected 
Cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a 
delicately flavored beverage which may save us many heavy 
doctor's bills. It is by the judicious use of such articles of 
diet that a constitution may be gradually built up until strong 
enough to resist every tendency to-disease. Hundreds of 
subtle maladies are floating around us ready to attack where 
ever there is a weak point. We may escape many a fatal 
shaft by keeping ourselves well fortified with pure blood 
and a properly nourished frame.”— Civil Service Gazette.
