The cocoa manufactured by that well- J|jf JpH' known firm is a preparation from the very best cocoa-beans, and contains zM f{jm all the valuable nutritive and stimulating properties natural to cocoa. IS? IH? The cocoa-bean contains an alkaloid called " Theobromine," which is W& the principle of the g| 111 " cup that cheers, but does not inebriate." ' j||j| M The great point of difference between the stimulating properties of W& alcohol, and that of theobromine is, that the use of the former causes a i||« t subsequent depression, which is proportional to the amount of stimulation |||| it has previously brought about ; the use of the latter (theobromine) is tjM unattended by such unpleasant after effects. Of course, only a first-class fs§ 'jigs cocoa, such as "Van Houten's, will work in the aforesaid manner. That g>2& l|p cocoa has been described as " A triumph of science !"It is quite pure, ,|1 j||| extremely soluble, and easy of assimilation and digestion by the weakest 'fm Ipf stomach. It costs but a trifle, being less than one farthing per cup ; and m J|j| it is the simplest di ink to make ready, of the whole catalogue of possible §Sp Wai beverages. It smells so good, and tastes so delicious, that when you try p| §JH$ it you will certainly exclaim : "Ah ! indeed, it is a triumph of science !
