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, Ac., and in reality cheaper than such mixtuies. 
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. 
In tins, at Is. 6 d., 3s., 5s. 6 d., &c., by Chemists and Grocers.
