See opinions of English authorities :—: — The Lancet — "This new form of Pince-nez (the ' Revluc ') should recommend itself to those who have a preference for ' glasses 'of this description. The pressure on the nose is firm, but not great enough to cause discomfort or to mark the skin, and there is no tendency to tilt forward." The British Medical Journal— "A novel form of Pince-nez. We have used the 'Revluc 1 ourselves for several months. From our own tost we can thoroughly recommend the' Revluc."* The Medical Press — "For simplicity of mechanism and ingenuity of construction they surpass any article of the kind we have seen." The Hospital — " Light and elegant, and is certainly both comfortable and efficient. A great advance." Above are a few short extracts^ from a number of other highly favourable opinions, which would require more space than we can afford to quote in full.

I A TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE. J HA Reader, do you know what real coctfa is ? To economical H jit housewives, and wide-awake people generally, the best fi| r No cocoa and that of Van Houten are synonymous terras. W3l SB The cocoa manufactured by that well-known firm is a «» [M preparation from the very best cocoa-beans, and contains all wjfl, I, SB the valuable nutritive and stimulating properties natural *|| a to cocoa. The cocoa-bean contains an alkaloid called w Jjgg "Theobromine," which is the principle of the j^ k| y« 1 .^ni " CU P cherrs, but does not inebriate* ex!^£ !p ytLjS& U&pS3g||§ The great point of difference between the stimulating *Mr**®PS £ML~_Jsll properties of alcohol, and that of theobromine is, that the §l^^^^k ffirHfoffipa use °f the former causes a subsequent depression, which iss fa^SS^fl SB ff£r P ro P ort i° na l to the amount of stimulation it has previously w fgj H Drought about ; the use of the latter (theobromine) is Eg wl unattended by such unpleasant after-effects. Of course, B& ia only a first-class cocoa, such as Van Houten's, will work . J|r ra* in the aforesaid manner. That cocoa has been described as J "< «a ""^ tr * um ph of science!" It is quite pure, extremely J * 1« soluble, and easy of assimilation and digestion by the j| 19 weakest stomach. It costs but a trifle, being less than one » m jRa farthing per cup ; and it is the simplest drink to make ready, • W* j§fl of the whole catalogue of possible beverages. It smells so If ijf good, and tastes so delicious, that when you try it you -will 11 ' fif certainly exclaim: "Ah! indeed, it is a triumph of science i" ' 1 if HAVE YOU TRIED \ M ® I VAN HOUTEN'3 Eating CHOCOLATE P J Jl
