fl A. TRIUMPH OF SCIENCE. 1 iky sjy l H Reader, do you know what real cocoa is ? To economical B fl housewives, and wide-awake people generally, the ifft-t „,,, fl ■ cocoa and that of Van Houlcn are synonymous terms. " ' ', B m The cocoa manufactured by that well-known firm is' a fl m preparation from the very best cocoa-beans, and contains all B m- the valuable nutritive and stimulating properties natural ■ ■ B , flj . ; to cocoa. The cocoa-bean contains an alkaloid called fl^ .flj ' "Tueobromine," which is the principle of the " .. - „ B Bj^^^Jßi ■ " cup that cheers, but du?s not inebriate." flT^B^^fl BjflßM| ' The .Rreat Point of difference between the stimulating BJ^^BhT properties of alcohol, and that of theobromine is, that the jß^^gflA fl^^flpfcl use °^ '-' le ormcr causes a subsequent depression, which is W^BB'Bj B proportional to the amount of stimulation it has previously W ;." B fl .^^ brought about; the use of the latter (theobromine) is B ■ • unattended by such unpleasant after-effects. Of course, U .Bl ? nly a first-class cocoa, such as "Van Hputen's, will work U B. in the aforesaid manner. 7/%a< cocoa has been described as V B> "A'"triumph of science!" It is quite pure, extremely U' B^ soluble, aod easy of assimilation and digestion by the ■ c ■ weakest'stomach. It costs but a trifle, being less than one fl ■ farthing per cup ; and it is the si-nplast drink to make ready, fl ■ of the whole catalogue of possible beverages. It smells so fl B good, :n 1 tastes so delicious, that when you try it you will . B S certainly exclaim: "Ah! i.ideed, it is a triumph of science !" B M HAVE YOU TRIED T | \ m.
