SCHWEITZER’S 
COCOATINA, 
Anti-Dyspeptic Cocoa or Chocolate Powder. 
Guaranteed Pure Soluble Cocoa of the Finest 
Quality, with the excess of Fat Extracted. 
THE FACULTY pronounce it “the most nutritious, perfectly 
digestible beverage for Breakfast, Luncheon, or Supper, and 
invaluable for Invalids and Children." 
Being without Sugar, Spice, or other admixture, it suits all 
palates, keeps for years in all climates, and is four times the 
strength of Cocoas thickened, yet weakened, with Arrowroot, 
Starch, &c., and in reality cheaper than such mixtmes. 
Made instantaneously with boiling water, a teaspoonful to a 
Breakfast cup costing less than a halfpenny. 
Cocoatina possesses remarkable sustaining proper¬ 
ties. and is specially adapted for early Breakfast.

“TREPH 0 ” FOR ORCHIDS. 
This new material has been found a most successful article for 
Blocks, Rafts, and Pot Orchids. It is Live Sphagnum pressed 
into solid blocks by hydraulic pressure, after having been 
chemically treated, to prevent its decay or souring. In the 
saturated atmosphere of an Orchid house it absorbs and con¬ 
tinuously takes up all the gases and moisture, and retains the 
same for several days without drying or being redipped. One 
dipping rvill last from three days to a week. Mr. Fred. Horsman, 
of Colchester, reports :—“ I have tried 1 Trepho ’ with very great 
success, having potted many thousand Orchids with it.” Sole
