No. V.-THE DOCTOR. Dr. T. H. Smith, Royal Colonial Institute, writes : " I have much pleasure in testifying to the superior qualities of your Vi-Cocoa over any similar preparation in the market Idu this willingly and unsolicited as I consider it a great boon to the public. I have personally experimented with the cocoas in the market, and find that the great drawback to all of them was the slow process of digestion and assimilation. The diastase in the Malt not only assists digestion in your Vi-Cocoa, but it also accelerates the digestion of other foods that are taken with Vi-Cocoa. This I have personally tested, and can therefore speak from actual experience. Its wonderful recuperative power after exhaustion from fatigue is marvellous." No article of consumption has ever equalled the speedy popularity of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa. We should think there are remarkably few houses, if any, wheft it IB not now in use, Dr. Tibbies' ViCocoa has positively popularised cocoa as a beverage ; many people who never could make a habit of cocoa drinking, and only took a oup on a rare occasion, are now regular drinkers of Vi-Cocoa. Thja i« uuquestionably a benefit from a public health point of view ; as tea, however refreshing and beneficial when taken in moderation, has baneful effects when used excessively, as had too lose been common. The progress of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa has beeD quite phenomenal all over the country. It has been a steady and rapid advance, showing that people after gettiog it once wanted it regularly. It praises am sounded on every hand, and tradesmen unanimously testify to itß growing sales, and the codtimul demand for the wonderful food beverage, which form, even to the veriest sceptics, convincing proofs of the hold it has taken in public favor. Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, iv BJd packets and Is Id ami 2a 2'l tins, can be obtained from all Chemists, Grocers and Stores, or from Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Cocoa, Limited, 269 George Street, Sydney. As an unparalleled test of merit, a dainty sample tiu of Dr. Tibbies' Vi-Uocoa will be sent free on application to any address, if when writing (a postcard will do) the reader will u»mc the P.B. Herald.
