Mabavilla Cocoa. — For Breakfast. The Globe says, " Various importers and manufacturers have atteirrpted to attain a reputation for their prepared Cocoas, but we doubt whether nny thorough success had been achieved until Messrs. Taylor Brothers discovered the extraordinary qualities of ' Maravilla' Cocoa. Adapting their perfect system of preparation to this finest of all species of the Theobroma, they have produced an article which supersedes every other Cocoa in the market. Entire solubility, a delicate aroma, and a rare concentration of the purest; elements of nutrition, distinguish the Maravilla Cocoa above all others. For homoeopaths and invalids we could not recommend a more agreeable or valuable beverage." Sold iv packets only by all Grocera, of whom also may be had Taylor Brothers' Original Homoeopathic Cocoa and ,Sohtble Chocolate. Steam Mills, -Brick Lane, London.— -fAdv.
