SOCIAL NEEDS. I is at least one—and certainly not the least Si important—province, in which the solution has been found. For ffig is not the question " What is our best daily beverage ?" of ||9 importance to ail classes of society ? And is any other answer Kg! to that question possible, from disinterested persons, than "Van ||| Houten's Cocoa"? It is more wholesome than any other drink, |lg .it is nourishing and easy to digest; refreshing, without acting E|| injuriously on the nervous system, in the the way that Tea, Coffee, ||| and other drinks do; and its delicious flavor in no way palls on «S the taste after continually using the cocoa. As regards its price, j!||j it is, as thousands can testify from practical experience, not at all I|| dear to use. §j What a pity all social questions cannot be answered as easily S as the above one; but their answers require a great deal of Eg thinking about. Those who are busy thinking about them, g cannot do better than take a cup of Van Houten's Cocoa daily; k as for helping the brain-worker it is without equal. if I HAVE YOU TRIED " \ 1 VAN HOUTEN'S Eating CHOCOLATE P g |

ASK YOUR GROCEB FOB EMPIRE CO.'S CONCENTRATED ESSENCES. ABSOLUTELY PURE. VITADATIO. /CONSUMPTION AND STARVED NERVES CURED. Mr W. "Webber. Dtaer Sir, —Words are nfere empty sounds to express the debt of gratitude I owe you as the inventor and proprietor of your superlative medicine "Vitadatio." From the time I was 13 years of ago it may be said, with absolute truth, I did not enjoy scarcely a day's good health, and this continued for upwerds of 15 years. During that long period I have been treated by six doctors for the folowing complaints, namely, Starved Nerves, Sluggish Liver, and Consumption. My state of health and vitality became so low the doctor said there was no hope for my recovery but to leave Tasmania, and go to one of the warmer colonies; this was during the year 1894. While in a state of great indecision as to what course to take—leave the colony, or, as the doctor said, remain here and die— your great and good medicine was then for the first time, so far as I know, advertised in the newspapers in northern Tasmania, and what was then a new remedy to us as a family fwaa for the first time brought under my notice. As a last forlorn hope, and after considerable pressing, I consented, with great reluctance, to try its effects in my case. It is so many years since the course wa3 taken that I do not remember the exact number of bottles, but I think it waa 10 or 11. The "Vitadatio" proved to be just the right medicine for my complication of troubles, for it restored mo to perfect health, and restored my whole body, with all the deranged functions, to a healthy condition, added to which I have enjoyed good health from the time of your medicine having cured to the present. I must ask N you to excuse my apparent want of gratitude »for not sending you the truth of my case years ago. And "let mc further add, sir, for the benefit of my own sex who may be hesitating and cannot decide to give Webber's ■■Vitadatio" a fair trial, that a medicine which has bo thoroughly cleansed my system, as to keep a chronic subject to Mxc ailments and diseases which I have named above free from pain, and the fearful mental anxiety for so many years, is worihy of a trial, and ia, as I know, from a thankful' experience, more valuable to sufiering humanity than you claim for it.—Yours very truly, I.
