Bbeaxfast.— Eppss Cocoa.— The very agreeable character of this preparation has reudered it a general favourite. Invigorating and sustaining, with a refined and grateful flavour developed by the special mode of preparation applied, this cocoa is used as their habitual beverage for breakfast by thousands who never before used cocoa. "Cocoa stands very much higher than coffee or tea," Dr Hassal says, " and contains every ingredient necessary to the growth and sustenance of the body." It is made simply by pouring boiling water or milk on the preparation as sold, jib., £lb., and lib. packets. This cocoa, as beingpreparedby JamesEppsJc Co., the Homoeopathic Chemist first established in this country, is very generally called Eppss Homoeopathic Cocoa.

He certainly doesn't mean to be coughed down.
